libgnomecanvas problem

[Darrell Blake <darrell blake virgin net>]

I'm trying to install gnome2 on slackware 8.1 and am getting a little annoyed 
about a problem I've got. When it comes to installing libgnomecanvas I'm 
getting the following error...

checking for pkg-config... /usr/local/bin/pkg-config
checking for gtk+-2.0 >= 2.0.3 libart-2.0 >= 2.3.8 pango >= 1.0.1 pangoft2 >= 
1.0.1... Package pangoft2 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `pangoft2.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'pangoft2' found

configure: error: Library requirements (gtk+-2.0 >= 2.0.3 libart-2.0 >= 2.3.8 
pango >= 1.0.1 pangoft2 >= 1.0.1) not met; consider adjusting the 
PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard 
prefix so pkg-config can find them.

I've got freetype2 installed. I've got pango installed. I've tried 
"./configure -enable-ft2" and "./configure -enable-pangoft2" with pango but 
for some reason nothing is working. I've tried time and time again 
reinstalling pango, freetype and libgnomecanvas but I'm still getting 
problems.

Can anyone help?
