I dropped pycairo (py2cairo is a later version of it, for Python2) because the dependencies built for me. Now that I've found which machine I built them on, I can see that I used py2cairo-1.10.0 and pygobject-2.28.6 as in the book, and as you did. Looking at the log from pygobject-2.28.6, I see no references to PYCAIRO which is what the configure script apparently looks for. Strange. In the pygobject2 configure command I only have --prefix=/usr --disable-introspection. No idea why it worked for me but not for you. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
