It's easy enough to try this instead of assuming. 'fink show-deps gtk+2' and see where pango1-xft2-dev is listed. Except in a few legacy/compatibility circumstances, no -dev is ever a dependency of anything ever. > simply running > > $ pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0 > > at the command line returns: > > Package pangoxft was not found in the pkg-config search path. > Perhaps you should add the directory containing `pangoxft.pc' > to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable > Package 'pangoxft', required by 'GDK', not found Right. As the message tells you, it is pango1-xft2-dev that is missing; gtk+2-dev was found. > reinstalling the pango-dev package sorts out both pkg-config output > and gtk+2 test program. > > I will add the dep for good measure but I remain unconvinced. It didn't work, and then you manually added something and now it works? What more proof could you possibly want that you need to list this something as one of your dependencies? dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.
