i tried to emerge pango-1.2.3. early on in the compiliation, it died with errors in gnome2_src_compile (i apologize for not saving the exact trace). after looking at bug #22572, i emerged freetype2 and fontconfig, which solved the problem. pango should register these dependencies. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. have outdated freetype2 and fontconfig on your machine 2. emerge pango 3. Actual Results: the compilation fails Expected Results: built properly
the deps are correct. Problems may on occasion arise from incompatabilities between xfree, fontconfig and freetype versions (probably not completely functional testing xfree ebuilds). I doubt you can reproduce this, so closing it as invalid.
