Re: Pango build fails - no Cairo font backends found

[Alex Kerr <alexkerr usa net>]

Great, that worked, thanks Ryan.

Just wondering - where would I have found that info if I hadn't asked on 
here? i.e. how did you and others know about that? I didn't see 
reference to this dependency anywhere, so just wondering if there's some 
of knowledge I'm missing here :)

Cheers
Alex
