One problem fixed: found xft.pc in /usr/X11R6/lib64/pkgconfig and needed to add this to PKG_CONFIG_PATH.
Next problem: multiple link errors in gtk2xtbin.o. I wonder if this is an x86_64 issue or it could relate to the --enable-canvas option. Will try more tomorrow. czep On 4/3/07, Scott Czepiel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Thank you for your suggestions. I installed all the dependencies, but on make I have run into a problem: "Package xft not found in pkg-config search path." It suggests adding the path to "xft.pc" to PKG_CONFIG_PATH, but I can't find xft.pc anywhere on my system, even though I assume it should be in /usr/lib/pkgconfig. Did I miss a step in the configuration of X.org?
