Re: Installing Pango with the Xft backend

[Karina Orot <rinadesu gmail com>]

Thanks Daniel -

I actually "figured it out" last night... turns out that I didn't even
have to go through the whole exercise of instaling gtk+2.4 - Nessus is
supposed to work with the gtk+ that comes with RHEL3. I had to install
a new glib - but that was it. Once I pointed Nessus to the right glib,
Nessus was able to be built... GTK wasn't my problem. :)

Thank you very much for your input!

Mahalo,
Karina
