I assume you are using http://archive.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs-museum/snapshot-20121101 ? I don't recall why that snapshot is there, but I assume it mostly worked. FWIW, I think Quartz was some OSX thing. Looking at my past git branches (for my scripts), in my LFS-7.3 branch I had moved on to LO-4 by the time I merged that back into master, so slightly newer than what you are doing. But there I have: librsvg-2.36.4 ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \ --disable-gtk-doc --disable-static \ --enable-introspection=no (yes, I know that --disable-option is supposed to be the same as --enable-option=no, but over the years there have been one or two cases where it did not work, so I have tended to stick with whatever I knew worked, until recently) and before _that_ pango-1.32.5 (so, less than your LO version needs) with just ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc and some long time before that cairo-1.12.12 ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-xcb --enable-tee \ --enable-glib \ --enable-gl \ --disable-static I do not remember why I had the --enable-glib switch : --enable-gl is mentioned in that snapshot. At that time, I was using glib-2.34.3, so close to what is in that snapshot in the museum. We have almost always moved on to the new LO branch when we notice it, so perhaps what you actually need, with your existing package versions, is an _older_ 3.6 version. Dunno, it is so long ago, I've probably forgotten a lot. Oh, and I really wish I hadn't changed my branch to look at this - clisp finished compiling while I was in the old branch, and failed to find libatomic_ops in its current location in my scripts. So, I've learned something - do not change branch to research a support question while a build is running on any of my machines. I hope you have better luck, but I'm increasingly convinced that you would do better to build versions that people remember, and which have been in the book. ĸen -- This one goes up to eleven! -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
