Hi, I am trying to build xwindows, gtk. I have installed xlibs from cvs.freedesktop.org, xserver from pdx.freedesktop.org. I have installed the following packages: xlibs zlib glib pango atk tiff libpng libjpeg My GTK is getting Xft Pango backend is required for x11 target error. I have Render and NOT XRender. What is the difference between the two. and how do i solve my compilation problem of gtk. please advice.
