The guilty syntax (appearing in several pango headers) seems to be this: G_CONST_RETURN char **start ^^^^ Looking at the vast number of uses of G_CONST_RETURN in other header files, I'm guessing that the word 'char' should really be 'gchar'. I would test this idea by editing the headers in /usr/include/pango-1.0/pango by hand, making the above change to every instance of 'C_CONST_RETURN char'. If that trick works, then it's definitely a bug in the pango package and needs to be fixed. Otherwise, I'm stumped.
