This all makes me wonder if there may be a phantom dependency on "pangocairo" in the configure script? checking Pango flags... configure: error: *** Pango not found.

Is the requirement of pangocairo something real/necessary? And if so, how does one get pangocairo since I see nothing of the like in the package tree. I'm not sure why it wouldn't be on my system. Related bug for PPC but I see this on x86 as well, and was unable to change hardware field: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=118640 Similar problem on another linux: http://www.linuxforum.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=151155 Possibly related: Firefox 1.5 made a brief apearance on this system, and I've seen some mentions of firefox having perhaps its own snapshot of pango? Since then I've reemerged pango and cairo though, so i'm not sure what's up. Other gentoo users I've polled seem to have pangocairo.pc on their system.

This bug marked as a duplicate of a gtk+ 2.7 package bug. The issue being reported here is against gtk+-2.8.8. Are you certain there isn't a code problem with the configure script requiring pangocairo? Please advise. ~ # pkg-config --exists pango pangocairo ~ # echo $? 1 ~ # pkg-config --cflags pango -I/usr/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include ~ # pkg-config --cflags pangocairo Package pangocairo was not found in the pkg-config search path.
