LOL I don't think that pango requiring glib 1.3.* is much of a problem; it won't be widely deployed and used on systems without it. Now, if the next version allows compiling without it, then that would solve your problem when it will be included in cooker (I saw the announce of the new version, but the 8.1 was already in deep freeze). Note however that the pre-compiled rpm package of pango will still link with glib 1.3.*, as it is needed by the gtk+ 1.3.* lib (and that is it's main reason of including it: testing the new gtk (and it may be already useful for some people)). Now a recompilation with a one line change in the spec file shouldn't be a problem Abel -- Ki ça vos våye bén, Pablo Saratxaga http://www.srtxg.easynet.be/PGP Key available, key ID: 0x8F0E4975

Hmmm, can pango be linked without glib 1.3.x at all!? Anyway it is discussing whether fribidi must be linked with glib 1.3.x; currently it must be the case (otherwise pango refuses to use external fribidi library). But for newer pango, it is another story; pango 0.20 (dunno for older versions) includes a mini-fribidi library, so that external fribidi is just optional. Actually including external fribidi won't work without patching; filed a bug report+patch in bugzilla, but nobody has taken care of it yet. Abel
Re: [Cooker] Re: [CHRPM] fribidi-0.9.0-2mdk
*** may want to edit the glib-config-2.0 script: /usr/bin/glib-config-2.0 checking for glib-config... /usr/bin/glib-config checking for GLIB - version = 1.2.0... yes so glib 1.3 doesn't seem to be accepted by firbidi because it uses the old /usr/bin/glib-config-2.0 script. [stefan@bi SPECS]$ glib-config-2.0 glib-config-2.0 is no longer supported. Please use pkg-config instead So fribidi goes ahead and uses glib-1.2... Any idea's on how to get it to compile with glib-2.0? Hack in support for pkg-config? _Must_ we compile this with glib 2.0 ...? It's still development stuff ... - G.

But the fribidi in CVS, after some tweak, works perfectly. I have created an RPM, placed in http://linux-hall.com/~maddog/files/gnome2/mdk-SRPMS/fribidi-0.9.0-2.0mdk.src.rpm Can you take a look at it? Abel PS You can go to fribidi.sourceforge.net to have a look.
