I followed that path and figured out eventually that it's probably best 
if I upgrade my XFree86 installation.  I am now running on XFree86-4.4.0 
which has freetype and fontconfig, etc.

However, after recompiling and reinstalling gliband pango, I still get 
the following error when configuring gtk:

checking Pango flags... -I/usr/local/include/pango-1.0 
-I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/X11R6/include/freetype2 
-I/usr/local/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/local/lib/glib-2.0/include   
-Wl,--export-dynamic -L/usr/local/lib -lpangoxft-1.0 -lpangox-1.0 
-lpango-1.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -ldl -lglib-2.0
configure: error:
*** Can't link to Pango. Pango is required to build
*** GTK+. For more information see http://www.pango.org

The corresponding output in the config.log file tells me:

Any ideas?
