Pango 1.8.0 install issues (mdk 10.0)

I need to install latest GTK+ 2.6.2, which requires GLib >= 2.6.0 , ATK and pango. I had problems with GLib, but I read some threads on this forum and I got a bit further with my installation... but I've encountered new problems. This time with pango 1.8.0 compilation. I run ./configure, it reports no errors and everything seems to be ok. Then I run make, and at one point it ends with an error:

Code:

gcc -g -O2 -Wall -o .libs/pango-querymodules querymodules.o  ./.libs/libpangox-1.0.so -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib ./.libs/libpangoxft-1.0.so /dane/pango-1.8.0/pango/.libs/libpangoft2-1.0.so -lXft -lX11 -lXrender ./.libs/libpangoft2-1.0.so /dane/pango-1.8.0/pango/.libs/libpango-1.0.so /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so /usr/lib/libexpat.so /usr/lib/libfreetype.so -lz /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so /usr/lib/libgmodule-2.0.so /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so ./.libs/libpango-1.0.so -lm /usr/local/lib/libgobject-2.0.so /usr/local/lib/libgmodule-2.0.so -ldl /usr/local/lib/libglib-2.0.so -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/opt/lib

Can someone help me with this?

Great . . . I have the same problem your having, and I hate to hijack your thread, but I just realized you have 30+ views with no replys. There goes hope for me solving my problem. Can't somebody help at all??

edit: I just realized I'm in the Mandrake section but I'm runing SuSE - I'll go post over there (if it exists - I haven't checked yet)

I think you got glib installed OK but the pango can't find it so it uses the old lib.
It's a bit weird that your compilation line tries to link both /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so and /usr/local/lib/libglib-2.0.so.

If you infact have a /usr/local/lib/libglib-2.0.so you could try 'export LDFLAGS=-Wl,-R/usr/local/lib' before running ./configure

- Peder

When I run ./configure I see some output that says "checking for glib >= 2.4.0 (yes glib=2.6.2)" so its strange that it sees that as the version but still could use an older version.

Did you install glib to /usr/local or somewhere else?
If so, have you added /usr/local/lib to the top of /etc/ld.so.conf?
Sometimes it seems like the linker chooses the one in /usr/lib despite the above and the only way I've got it to
work was by setting LDFLAGS=-Wl,-R/usr/local/lib

I think ./configure perorms its own black magic to determine versions and might not pass the location down
to the linker.

- Peder

If glib is the case, then just install it to /usr. I did that and have never had any problems when compiling other programs that look for glib

I tried setting LDFLAGS=-Wl,-R/usr/local/lib, still get the same error. I'm allowing glib to install to its default location, which I believe is /usr/local/lib. That path is already in /etc/ld.so.conf. I read somewhere that I could just install it to /usr, but that if anything goes wrong in the future, they *really* go wrong and that doesn't sound attractive to me as I'm still fairly green to linux. Thanks for your help so far guys please keep the idea's coming ...

Hmm, you could try uninstalling the development packages for gtk2 and glib2. They're not needed unless you want to compile
anything agains them (wich in this case you don't). Try

Code:

urpme libgtk+2.0_0-devel

urpme libglib2.0_0-devel

You also might have to uninstall libpango1.0_0-devel and libatk1.0_0-devel further on.

Edit: Of cause if you run Suse you'll have to use Yast or whatever to remove the packages

- Peder

Wasn't Pango available on the URPMI repositories for 10.0?

I thought it was?

I also had this problem and I didnt want to replace my system glib/gtk while compiling 2.6.2 (I needed the framebuffer version)

So here is what you must do. I don't know if this is a pango problem or a libtool problem, but anyways this works, although its not too handy to do automatic builds.

Compile as usual. As soon as you get that error, open libpangoft2-1.0.la with a editor and change:

Code:

dependency_libs=' /home/zap/src/gtk-2.6.0/pango-1.8.0/pango/libpango-1.0.la -L/usr/local/lib /usr/local/lib/libgobject-2.0.la /usr/local/lib/libgmodule-2.0.la /usr/local/lib/libglib-2.0.la -lfontconfig /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.3.3/../../..//libfreetype.la -lz /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.la /usr/lib/libgmodule-2.0.la -ldl /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.la -lm  '

to:

Code:

dependency_libs=' /home/zap/src/gtk-2.6.0/pango-1.8.0/pango/libpango-1.0.la -L/usr/local/lib /usr/local/lib/libgobject-2.0.la /usr/local/lib/libgmodule-2.0.la /usr/local/lib/libglib-2.0.la -lfontconfig /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.3.3/../../..//libfreetype.la -lz /usr/local/lib/libgobject-2.0.la /usr/local/lib/libgmodule-2.0.la -ldl /usr/local/lib/libglib-2.0.la -lm  '

After this compilation continues without errors.

Hey thanks for the reply anpaza, after reading your post and making changes, this is what I have in libpangoft2-1.0.la

dependency_libs= ' /home/Carlos/Documents/Downloads/pango/pango-1.8.0/pango/libpango-1.0.la -L/usr/local/lib /usr/local/lib/libgobject-2.0.la /usr/local/lib/libgmodule-2.0.la /usr/local/lib/libglib-2.0.la -lfontconfig /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-suse-linux/3.3.3/../../..//libfreetype.la -lz /usr/local/lib/libgobject-2.0.la /usr/local/lib/libgmodule-2.0.la -ldl /usr/local/lib/libglib-2.0.la -lm '

and this is the same BS I get back ( I wanna throw my laptop across the room when I see it )

./.libs/libpangoxft-1.0.so: undefined reference to `g_assert_warning'
/home/Carlos/Documents/Downloads/pango/pango-1.8.0/pango/.libs/libpango-1.0.so: undefined reference to `g_fopen'

this is identical to what I was getting before I made any changes to libpangoft2.1.0.la

bump still need help please

one last bump somebody please help me!! I'm gonna die!!

I know this doesn't help, but I am experiencing the exact error on Mandrake 10.

Anyone have a solution yet?

man where is the thread that you learned how to solve installation problem with glib. im trying to install gtk and i installed latest glib and when i was installing pango its sayin me that glib is installed incorrectly. how did u pass this problem???
