hi folks, i've been trying to install gtk 2.10.11 but was stopped by a problem that apparently many others had as well but thus far, none of the numerous posts on the internet containted much that could help me. the configure script aborts saying that it can't link to pango, specifically checking Pango flags... -I/usr/local/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/local/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/local/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/local/include/cairo -L/usr/local/lib -lpangocairo-1.0 -lpango-1.0 -lcairo -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -ldl -lglib-2.0 configure: error: *** Can't link to Pango. Pango is required to build *** GTK+. For more information see http://www.pango.org below i added the corresponding lines of the config.log file configure:33868: checking Pango flags configure:33874: result: -I/usr/local/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/local/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/local/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/local/include/cairo -L/usr/local/lib -lpangocairo-1.0 -lpango-1.0 -lcairo -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -ldl -lglib-2.0 configure:33923: gcc -o conftest -DG_DISABLE_DEPRECATED -g -O2 -Wall -I/usr/local/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/local/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/local/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/local/include/cairo conftest.c -L/usr/local/lib -lpangocairo-1.0 -lpango-1.0 -lcairo -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -ldl -lglib-2.0 >&5 /usr/local/lib/libcairo.so: undefined reference to `png_get_IHDR@PNG12_0' /usr/local/lib/libcairo.so: undefined reference to `png_destroy_write_struct@PNG12_0' /usr/local/lib/libcairo.so: undefined reference to `png_write_end@PNG12_0' /usr/local/lib/libcairo.so: undefined reference to `png_set_tRNS_to_alpha@PNG12_0' /usr/local/lib/libcairo.so: undefined reference to `png_set_write_fn@PNG12_0' /usr/local/lib/libcairo.so: undefined reference to `png_destroy_read_struct@PNG12_0' /usr/local/lib/libcairo.so: undefined reference to `png_create_read_struct@PNG12_0' /usr/local/lib/libcairo.so: undefined reference to `png_set_palette_to_rgb@PNG12_0' /usr/local/lib/libcairo.so: undefined reference to `png_set_read_fn@PNG12_0' /usr/local/lib/libcairo.so: undefined reference to `png_set_bKGD@PNG12_0' /usr/local/lib/libcairo.so: undefined reference to `png_set_filler@PNG12_0' /usr/local/lib/libcairo.so: undefined reference to `png_read_image@PNG12_0' /usr/local/lib/libcairo.so: undefined reference to `png_set_interlace_handling@PNG12_0' /usr/local/lib/libcairo.so: undefined reference to `png_get_io_ptr@PNG12_0' /usr/local/lib/libcairo.so: undefined reference to `png_error@PNG12_0' /usr/local/lib/libcairo.so: undefined reference to `png_read_end@PNG12_0' /usr/local/lib/libcairo.so: undefined reference to `png_read_info@PNG12_0' /usr/local/lib/libcairo.so: undefined reference to `png_read_update_info@PNG12_0' /usr/local/lib/libcairo.so: undefined reference to `png_create_write_struct@PNG12_0' /usr/local/lib/libcairo.so: undefined reference to `png_set_IHDR@PNG12_0' /usr/local/lib/libcairo.so: undefined reference to `png_get_valid@PNG12_0' /usr/local/lib/libcairo.so: undefined reference to `png_set_packing@PNG12_0' /usr/local/lib/libcairo.so: undefined reference to `png_create_info_struct@PNG12_0' /usr/local/lib/libcairo.so: undefined reference to `png_convert_from_time_t@PNG12_0' /usr/local/lib/libcairo.so: undefined reference to `png_set_gray_to_rgb@PNG12_0' /usr/local/lib/libcairo.so: undefined reference to `png_write_info@PNG12_0' /usr/local/lib/libcairo.so: undefined reference to `png_write_image@PNG12_0' /usr/local/lib/libcairo.so: undefined reference to `png_set_read_user_transform_fn@PNG12_0' /usr/local/lib/libcairo.so: undefined reference to `png_set_gray_1_2_4_to_8@PNG12_0' /usr/local/lib/libcairo.so: undefined reference to `png_set_tIME@PNG12_0' /usr/local/lib/libcairo.so: undefined reference to `png_set_write_user_transform_fn@PNG12_0' /usr/local/lib/libcairo.so: undefined reference to `png_set_strip_16@PNG12_0' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status judging by these unresolved references to some functions, which i guess belong to the pango library, changing the order of -lpango-1.0 and -lcairo in the gcc call might help. but i'm neither sure about that nor do i know how to achieve that. i'd be happy if some could give me some pointers on this one. thank you very much surge _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
