Hi All. This is my first email to this list. So if I make some kind of error or mistake, please forgive.
I'm trying to install wxWidgets. So I have downloaded gtk 2.4, glib 2.4, atk 1.6, pango 1.4.0.
glib, atk, pango, installed ok. With I run the
gtk+2.4.0 configure script, this is what I get:
configure:error: Pango 1.2.0 and Xft backend is requried of x11 target.
What does that mean?
Pango has different alternatives for making use of fonts, and if it does not find the dependencies for the "backend" of one of these alternatives, then it may simply not compile it, while all the other components of the program install fine. It may be, that this is what's happened in your case. Search for a program called fontconfig in your system, or ask someone more knowledgeable if it should be in Mandrake 9.0. Xft2, required to build the Xft backend of Pango, depends on it. With some older X servers (like mine) xrender and render may also be required to compile and install fontconfig and Xft2. This is most probably not your case, but anyway, all four can be found somewhere on freedesktop.org, but I don't remember the exact address.
Good Luck
