Re: installation problems

[Owen Taylor <otaylor redhat com>]

I think:

 A) Some paragraph breaks
 B) Some more details

Would be useful :-)

 - Pango supports --disable-qt that you can use if the Qt checks
    succeed but actual compilation of the example using Qt fails.
 - What operating system? if Linux, what distribution? What
   version of the distribution?
 - What RPM did you try installing? What it for your distribution?
 - What complains that you don't have /etc/pango/pango.modules?
 - What was the exact error message?

Regards,
                                        Owen
