Re: [Fink-devel] pangocairo: problems with pango1-xft2-ft219-dev -- I need advice

Hi Martin: Thanks very much. Unfortunately in this particular case, that isn't happening. Even if I force-feed it the locations of these various *.la files, compiling eventually terminates with libtool: link: cannot find the library `/sw/lib/libpangoxft-1.0.la' make[1]: *** [coot-real] Error 1

Thanks very much for answering those questions. It is a bit ironic I guess that in the pangocairo branch the pangocairo library gets hidden. I'm certainly no expert, but as long as everthing is getting upgraded in one cohort, wouldn't this be a good time to give the newer package the default
