I did the above workaround, successfully, and got past my pango snag....

Then ./configure complained about not having atk-bridge; i went down 
that chain of dependencies, with at-spi2-core, etc., (some of the latest 
git failed to "make"; i used version releases), and made gtk+ 
./configure happy.

But gtk+ make is now failing — HANGING (not exiting!) on an error:

(let me know if I should start a new thread for this, since my subject 
line is pango-specific, and this is beyond pango (apparently!)) ...

----------------------

at this point it just hangs, without exiting...; I need to do Ctrl+C, 
and get:

^Cmake[2]: *** [gtkresources.c] Interrupt
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Interrupt
make: *** [all] Interrupt

-----------------------------

This is a never ending battle, this gtk+ on my Ubuntu 10.10, with the 
sprawling tree and extensive chains of dependencies, each of which is 
not yielding easily (!!!) — battling over 48 hours now...
