Both freetype and quartz font back-ends.. I wonder which will get used
when you build pango against this version of cairo.

The cairo output was fine (I don't need the config.log), and if pango is
similarly chatty about how it is configured, configure output should
suffice there too.

I'd be really interested to see the difference between that output when
built against this non-working version of cairo, and the system one.

Here's a thought..

with your working gschem, working pango build - is it possible to
LD_PRELOAD the libraries from the non-working local cairo build?

Does that break things, or are they fine? (IE.. is the bug triggered by
using the (working) pango library, and the locally built cairo
library ?)

That is positive, it sort-of tells me that cairo "might" be the  
problem,

not pango.

Can you post me your config.log files from your builds of:

cairo (as not working)
pango (as not working, built against the above cairo - if you still  
have

it)
pango (as built against the working OS X cairo).

I suspect a trawl through those will enlighten me as to what font
back-ends are being used by both cairo versions.


  Here's the tail end of a ./configure run from cairo; I can send  
the entire config.log if desired.  I'll have to re-do the two pango  
builds...that's not a big deal; I'll try to do that tonight.  In the  
meantime let me know if you want the entire cairo config.log or if  
this will suffice.  (there's more to my reply below this block)  This  
is from a G5 running 10.4, the output is identical to that of an x86  
running 10.6 with the exception of "ps testing".  Again, these are  
the builds that don't work.

   I don't know how that cairo was built, nor do I know what  
release it
is.  This is especially frustrating because I didn't even know  
cairo was
included with 10.6; I just got this machine recently (Macbook Air,  
from
my employer) and hadn't noticed that cairo was a part of the  
standard X

install.


What is the filename of the library? (On Linux I'd check with ldd  
`which

gschem` or similar).


  Under OS X, that'd be "otool -l `which gschem`".  Its output is  
much longer and less useful than ldd.  Here's the relevant section:


  cmd LC_LOAD_DYLIB
  cmdsize 56
 name /usr/X11/lib/libcairo.2.dylib (offset 24)
   time stamp 2 Wed Dec 31 19:00:02 1969
  current version 10803.6.0
compatibility version 10803.0.0
Load command 16

  (interesting timestamp...it bears no resemblance to the timestamp  
on the file itself)


  I wish we could find out how it was built.

I don't know your location, but in the UK you can get a PAYG SIM where
you only pay per SMS (about 10p each), and as long as you send a message
once every few months or so, your credit doesn't run out.
