You should take a look at this thread; it sounds as though the problem of requiring CoreText should be fixed in Pango 1.27 (which has now been released). Have you tried that version? if it doesn't work, then maybe you could try applying the patch to version 1.26.

In the meantime, it took a little over two minutes to build it on a Linux machine, and it works nicely when displayed back to either the G5 or the Sun Ray (backed with Solaris/UltraSPARC) on my desk. I'll use that to get some work done and will keep trying to get it running under OS X during breaks. In the meantime I've narrowed down the Pango problem to a major release. Under OS X 10.4, v1.24 works while v1.25 fails due to the CoreText requirement. Pango is configured to use Cairo, FreeType, and X backends, according to its configure output. Do you have any suggestions as to where I might start digging? -Dave > --Dave McGuire Port Charlotte, FL _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [2]geda-u...@moria.seul.org [3]http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user References 1. http://www.mail-archive.com/gtk-devel-l...@gnome.org/msg11239.html 2. mailto:geda-user@moria.seul.org 3. http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
