The problem with CentOS (a clone of RedHat Enterprise Linux) and RedHat Enterprise Linux itself is they tend to have really old versions of Linux libraries. From the above missing references I suspect this is the issue with the pango and cairo libraries which our cairo device driver depends on. So I suggest you try -DDEFAULT_NO_CAIRO_DEVICES=ON to turn off all cairo devices to see if that gets you past the above error. I believe that reference to utils/pltek is because building that executable found the linking issue first. But attempting to build anything else would have also run across the same error so I don't think the fundamental linking issue has anything to do with pltek. Therefore, I suggest you do not specify any textronix flags (i.e. use the defaults) for your new build (in an initially empty build tree, of course) with -DDEFAULT_NO_CAIRO_DEVICES=ON. Hope that idea works for you. Alan __________________________ Alan W. Irwin Astronomical research affiliation with Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Victoria (astrowww.phys.uvic.ca).
