Description Lawren Burch 2003-05-09 21:35:25 UTC

pygtk requires the pango libraries, but the ebuild doesn't list pango as a
dependancy.  I had to manually emerge pango.  In addition I had to manually
create a symlink like so:

ln -s /usr/lib/libpangoft2-1.0.la /usr/lib/libpangoxft-1.0.la

pygtk would not build without this file

well, you didn't say which version of pygtk or pango you were having problems with?

pygtk-1.99* are the ones that need pango, and they have that as a dep already (don't know when that was added or whether they always had them before). 

as for pango missing pangoxft-1.0.la, that should be created by pango. try re-emerging pango because it seems like a broken installation on your machine.
