It hasn't been my habit to deviate from the specified (LFS/BLFS)
releases and I don't know if I _solved_ the problem, but I fetched
the latest versions of pango and GTK+ in the 1.8.x and 2.6.x series
respectively working under the common assumption that these should
really be bug fixes and not cause problems with builds further on
in the BLFS manual.  (whew, long sentence). 


Anyhooooo, after trying pango 1.8.2 with gtk+ 2.6.7, the gtk+
configure script echoed the same error cited above, but when I
tried gtk+ 2.6.10, I was able to configure, make and 'make check'
gtk+ succesfully.

Still, I would like to know what I goofed up using the canonical
BLFS.
