pango compilation problem

[Philip Kensche <pkensche cmbi ru nl>]

Hi,

I am trying to compile pango-1.21.3 but get a linker error about two freetype functions, although these functions are -- to my knowledge -- accessible.

My system is Redhat Enterprise WS Release 4 (Nahant Update 6). The system is somewhat outdated. So, to be able to also use some newer software, I installed a some libraries in at an alternative location, namely /usr/local/pkensche/.

I have the following library versions installed to /usr/local/pkensche:

freetype-2.3.6
fontconfig-2.6.0
cairo-1.6.4

The versions installed by the redhat system are:
freetype-2.1.9-7.el4.6
fontconfig-2.2.3-13.el4
pango-1.6.0-9
no cairo library installed by redhat


This is the error:

I checked libcairo.so and libfontconfig.so with ldd:

ldd /usr/local/pkensche/lib/libcairo.so
        libfreetype.so.6 => /usr/local/pkensche/lib/libfreetype.so.6 (0x00b60000)
        libfontconfig.so.1 => /usr/local/pkensche/lib/libfontconfig.so.1 (0x00e6e000)

        libXrender.so.1 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXrender.so.1 (0x00fa9000)
        libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x0031a000)

        libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x0014f000)
        libpixman-1.so.0 => /usr/local/pkensche/lib/libpixman-1.so.0 (0x00401000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0x0022e000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x004ba000)
        libexpat.so.0 => /usr/lib/libexpat.so.0 (0x00251000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00270000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x003ca000)

ldd /usr/local/pkensche/lib/libfontconfig.so
        libfreetype.so.6 => /usr/local/pkensche/lib/libfreetype.so.6 (0x00dad000)
        libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x00111000)
        libexpat.so.0 => /usr/lib/libexpat.so.0 (0x0065c000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x00a42000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x003ca000)


The libfreetype.so.6 referenced contains the two functions, though:

nm /usr/local/pkensche/lib/libfreetype.so.6 | grep -P "FT_GlyphSlot_Embolden|FT_Select_Size"
00015a20 T FT_GlyphSlot_Embolden
00009830 T FT_Select_Size


I don't know how to narrow down the cause of this problem and would appreciate any help. Please tell me if you need more information.

Thanks in advance!
