I had a similar problem, albeit in a more prosaic environment:
WindowsXP. The catch is that I wanted to install the minimum GTK+ and I
wanted to do it from my own installer, I didn't want the end user to
have to install GTK+. You probably didn't run the GTK+ installer either?
I found out that I could make it behave if I created:
/program-root-+->etc-+->fonts
              |      +->pango-+->pango.aliases
              |               +->pango.modules
              +->lib->pango->1.5.0->modules-+->pango-basic-fc.dll
                                            +->pango-basic-win32.dll
Of course, YMMV and I had the advantage of being able to install in
other computer and then just copy the same files over to the installer.

This might be a no-no if the system already has GTK+ installed, I just
happen to know that they didn't have it and that they were unlikely to
want to go through two installers to get my program running.

Hope it helps
