Description Kris Kersey (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-02-17 12:51:39 UTC 
On a clean install of 2004.3 AMD64, I can not emerge gtk+-2.6.2.  Portage is up-to-date as of time of writing this bug.

Error:
checking for freetype-config... /usr/bin/freetype-config
checking For sufficiently new FreeType (at least 2.0.1)... yes
configure: error: Xft Pango backend is required for x11 target

Pango is installed: pango-1.8.0
xorg-x11 is installed: xorg-x11-6.8.2

I will attach the config.log

Comment 2 foser (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-02-18 06:29:06 UTC 
pango is built without xft backend for some reason, find out why that is.
Comment 3 Raffi Chaglassian 2005-02-19 16:38:49 UTC 
PKG_CONFIG_PATH is probably set to non 64 bit lib.

running the following should fix this:

PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/lib64/pkgconfig" 
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH

arch specific libdir stuff then.
Comment 5 Simon Strandman 2005-02-21 03:40:03 UTC 
I had this problem too. Why isn't PKG_CONFIG_PATH set in the first place? I added PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib64/pkgconfig" to my /etc/env.d/00basic to make it work.
Comment 6 Simon Strandman 2005-02-21 04:05:32 UTC 
I think the main problem here is when /usr/lib64 is a directory and not a symlink to /usr/lib. I moved everything over from /usr/lib64 to /usr/lib, removed /usr/lib64 and symlinked it to /usr/lib. That did not only fix the compilation of pango/gtk+ but also several other packages like qt and jpeg.

I'm no longer having any problem with this.  I'll close it out.
