Thanks I'm recompiling Cairo. One thing. I can only get it to compile with static libraries! Is that a problem?I get the following error:/usr/lib/liblzo2.a(lzo2a_9x.o): relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against symbol `memset@@GLIBC_2.2.5' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPICthanksCliff
