I managed to compile it successfully with pango-cairo support by editing the configure script and adding the pangoxft module to the pkg-config list: %diff -c configure.bak configure *** configure.bak 2011-05-31 16:16:55.000000000 +0200 --- configure 2011-05-31 16:17:21.000000000 +0200 *************** *** 31313,31319 **** $as_echo "$r_cv_has_pangocairo" >&6; } if test "x${r_cv_has_pangocairo}" = "xyes"; then modlist="pangocairo" ! for module in cairo-xlib cairo-png; do if "${PKGCONF}" --exists ${module}; then modlist="${modlist} ${module}" fi --- 31313,31319 ---- $as_echo "$r_cv_has_pangocairo" >&6; } if test "x${r_cv_has_pangocairo}" = "xyes"; then modlist="pangocairo" ! for module in cairo-xlib cairo-png pangoxft; do if "${PKGCONF}" --exists ${module}; then modlist="${modlist} ${module}" fi I do not know if it is an error in the configure script or just a peculiarity of my installation. All these libs (pango, cairo, gtk, glib) have been installed manually from tarballs.
