Bug 359425 – x11-libs/pango-1.28.3-r1 needs >=dev-libs/glib-2.24

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Daniel Díaz 2011-03-18 23:42:06 UTC]

It seems that pango-1.28-r1 uses g_malloc0_n, which according to GLib's documentation is only available as of 2.24:
  http://library.gnome.org/devel/glib/unstable/glib-Memory-Allocation.html#g-malloc0-n

Building with glib-2.22.4 yields the following error:

Upon emerging dev-libs/glib-2.26.1-r1, pango now builds successfully.

Reproducible: Always
