Can't link to Pango while running configure for GTK+ 2.8.*

[Armaghan Mallik <amallik xerolabs com>]

Thanks in advance for helping with this, I looked through the list and didn't
find anything that would specifically address the issue that I am having though
others have reported the same error message the threads seem to have died off
without a resolution posted.

I am trying to install GTK+ 2.8.2 (had the same results with 2.8.0 as well) on a
slamd64 system and have gone through and installed the following libraries in
order:

1. LibSigC++ 2.0
2. ATK 1.10
3. GLIB 2.8.1
4. Cairo 0.9
5. Pango 1.10 ( ran configure --with-cairo )

When I now try to run the configure script for gtk+, I get the following error:

checking Pango flags... -I/usr/local/include/pango-1.0
-I/usr/local/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/local/lib/glib-2.0/include

-Wl,/usr/lib64 -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib64 -lpangocairo-1.0 -lpango-1.0
-lfreetype -lz -lcairo -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 config.log file has this error listed in it (relevant portion only):

configure:31492: result: -I/usr/local/include/pango-1.0

configure: failed program was:

| #define PACKAGE_VERSION "2.8.2"
| #define PACKAGE_STRING "gtk+ 2.8.2"

I have tried removing pango entirely from the system and then re-installing it
with the same results everytime.  pkg-config finds all three, pango, pangocairo
and cairo without a problem.  My hunch is that the issue lies with ld.so somehow
not being able to resolve the cairo library for pangocairo somehow.  Any ideas
on how I can set this up properly would be a great help.

Thanks again for looking through this, if there is anything else that is needed
please let me know and I will do my best to give you the information you need.

Thanks,
