Problems with building GTK+ 2.4.3

["Michael B. Trausch" <miket chadeux net>]

Hello there,
	I've recently obtained the GTK+ library as well as Pango, ATK, and
GLib.  I was able to successfully build Pango, ATK, and GLib, and they've
installed just fine.  However, GTK+ absolutely *refuses* to build, and I
can't quite make any sense of it, because everything seems to be in order
for it *to* build.
	The system in question has the following specs to it:

		Linux Kernel 2.4.20
		glibc 2.3.1
		gcc 3.2.2
		X.org X11R6.7.0
		FreeType 2.1.8 (IIRC, anyway, can't find the exact thing
			at the moment)
		Latest Stable Pango, ATK, GLib.

	The problem that I seem to be experiencing is this:

/bin/sh ../../libtool --mode=link gcc  -g -O2 -Wall   -o gtk-demo

../../gtk/.libs/libgtk-x11-2.0.so: undefined reference to
`pango_find_base_dir'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

	What I've done with attempting to make this build is as follows:
The first time I ran 'make' after './configure', I was greeted with an
issue stating that I didn't have libgobjects.2.somethingoranother.la in
/usr/lib.  Well, I knew that much, because everything had been installed
in /usr/local/lib.  The solution that seemed to permit that to work was
symlinking from the original files in /usr/local/lib to /usr/lib, and that
seemed to permit the build to go on, until...
	Now.  I have this crazy message stating that there is an undefined
reference to 'pango_find_base_dir', however, that's kinda mind-boggling.
I checked /usr/local/lib/libpango-1.0.so and saw that it did indeed have
the function requested:

fd0man mike:~/gtk-stuff/gtk+-2.4.3$ nm /usr/local/lib/libpango-1.0.so
 |grep find_base
0001d4ec T pango_find_base_dir

	So I'm not quite understanding where the compiler sees this as
non-existant, when it very plainly exists right there in front of my face.
Anyone who can help with this, would be very appreciated, and if there is
any more information that is needed to help solve this, please feel free
to ask me and I will try to provide it.  I just want to get this all
working :-).

	Later!
