Yeesh, that's funny - I just ran into this on the weekend too..
Basically, what's happening is that the libraries are building OK, but
they're just not being packaged into the RPM (Looks like you're building
an RPM from source - That's how I ran into it...)

I got past it by editing the .spec file, and rebuilding it.
[ This is from memory, so I hope it's close enough - All paths, syntax,
commands, etc are approximate... ]
Basically...
1) Install the SRPM
   % rpm -i <path>/pango.src.rpm
2) Edit the .spec file
   % vi /usr/src/RPMS/SPECS/pango.spec    (Path/filename may differ)
   Look towards the bottom where the files to put in the package are
   specified.  One will list just the .so files (No extension)
       %{some_macro}/some/path/*.so
   I just added another wildcard to it
       %{some_macro}/some/path/*.so*
   so that the *.so.0 files will be included too.
3) Write out the new .spec file, and rebuild
   % rpm -bs pango.spec
   % rpm --rebuild /usr/src/RPMS/SRPMS/pango.src.rpm  (Whatever path/file...)

Hope this helps  (Hope I remembered it right...)
