After I merged x11-libs/pango-1.18.3 I was unable to compile many other packages (e.g GTK+). Always it results to "Can't link to Pango. Pango is required to build.". I don't know anything about pango so I can't give you more info, but I hope I helped. (Sorry for my English) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge =x11-libs/pango-1.18.3 2. emerge =x11-libs/gtk+-2.12.1-r1 Actual Results: # cat /var/tmp/portage/x11-libs/gtk+-2.12.1/work/gtk+-2.12.1/config.log ... | int | main () | { | return pango_context_new (); | ; | return 0; | } configure:32563: error: *** Can't link to Pango. Pango is required to build *** GTK+. For more information see http://www.pango.org Possible solution (for common user) is to merge x11-libs/pango-1.18.2
Reopen with config.log attached and emerge --info output.
