Are you sure it's not just skipping PDF and PS tests without those guys? Certainly, poppler uses cairo for it's rendering of PDFs. I know in the past that cairo checked for gtk+, but it was only for the testsuite. The cairo testsuite is pretty large and not shy about leaning on external pieces for it, but they shouldn't be needed for cairo itself. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
