BUG: gtk2 installer fails during configure while detecting Pango 1.2.0

[Mail@…]

I have two versions of Pango installed 1.4.0_2 and 1.4.1_0 and neither one will let me get past the gtk2 configure step. I was actually trying to install gnome-desktop when this failure ocurred.

% port installed

The following ports are currently installed:

I think I got this one figured out. The solution was to set the following environmental variable:

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/ pkgconfig

It looks like it was only looking for packages in /opt/local/lib/pkgconfig and was missing Xft and others that were installed in other places. By modifying PKG_CONFIG_PATH, and recompiling Pango, it then installed pangoxft as well. Before it was installing all of the options for Pango.

If you ask me (and I am no expert) it looks like darwinports should set this environmental variable with a better default. The configure was making some assumptions on what was installed based on the fact that I was running Darwin, but because this varaible was not set correctly, configure was missing packages.

I'm having a similar problem but not a similar solution

gtk+2.6.0 / pango 1.8.0

I have pango.pc, pangox.pc and pangoft2.pc in my pkgcnfig directory but gtk2 searches for pangoxft.pc and does not succeed. updating the PKG_CONFIG_PATH does not help

I'm not sure which way is the best to fix that

Please use summary prefix.

[yves@…]

I ran across this problem again (pango 1.8.1). Before rebuilding pango, I also installed python24 (and did nothing else) and when I rebuilt pango, xft backend was built. ????

[olegb@…]

is this still a problem ? this is a pretty old report. I will close it if is no respons.

[mij@…]

No response for a month, so I'm closing this.
