Daniel,

'LD' is the gnu linker. The reason for your stream of errors is that 
code which calls libpangoft2 was compiled and then attempted to be 
linked, but the linker couldn't find the library this is probably because:

a) When you originally compiled pango, it didn't recognize freetype and 
didn't compile the libpangoft2 library. A quick way to check for this is 
to become root and type "ldconfig -v | less". Look through the resulting 
output for libpangoft2. Not there? Go back to pango and make sure that 
everything in pango is really compiling.

b) libpangoft2 did compile, and you have verified this by step (a). The 
probable culprit now is that somehow, the compiler didn't get passed the 
"-lpangoft2" option when it should have. Since I haven't yet built the 
most recent ggv, I can only conjecture as to the problem:

   - ggv's makefiles / ./configure are broken, and don't properly find 
pango.
   - pkgconfig is somehow not finding 
<gnome2_prefix>/lib/pkgconfig/pangoft2.pc,
     and therefore `pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0` isn't supplying the
     -lpangoft2 switch as it's supposed to

Hope this helps,

Idan
