First, it is 'Cairo' (R is case sensitive), and this is wrong list (see the posting guide).

But in any case we can't help you as what you show is far from complete and this is not an R issue. Usually there are multiple versions of such libraries on a Solaris system: the problem is most likely the library paths. Please ask your local Solaris help for assistance in sorting out what is a local problem.

(FWIW I can install package Cairo on Solaris if I use GNU make, an undeclared dependence. But I wonder why you would want to do this when R's own graphics devices do almost everything Cairo does, often better since we use pango for font selection.)

Hi,

I have installed the latest version of libglib-2.0 (2.28.0) and cairo 1.10.2

Then I have compiled R 2.12.1

But when i  I try to install Cairo (1.4-6) I get the following
unreferenced Symbol error:

*** installing help indices
** building package indices ...
** testing if installed package can be loaded
Error : .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'Cairo', details:
  call: dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...)
  error: unable to load shared object

FT_Library_SetLcdFilter: referenced symbol not found
ERROR: loading failed
* removing '/opt/gnu/R-2.12.1/lib/R/library/Cairo'



This all I have done on Solaris with the Sun Studio 11 Compiler

When I configure cairo-1.10.2 I got:

checking for FT_Library_SetLCDFilter.... yes


Looks like it is anywhere on my system.

But why R does not find it - Need I a special Environment variable to
define the location of the library that contains the object ? But from
which library this object is comming ?

Thank for any hint

Reinhard
