I accidentally hit tab and return I think, sorry...

and then a segmentation fault.

There's also an initial pango warning that it can't find pangorc in my
home directory.  I went to the trouble of adding a pangorc file to
/usr/local/etc/pango I think with the location of that pango.modules
file since one was not installed.

I'm not sure if this is some version mismatch or a localization thing
or what but its driving me nuts.  The error messages aren't helpful,
none of the configure scripts complained about anything missing, and
I'm at wits end trying to solve this.

In addition, these types of errors seem like they're all over the web
but there's no solution to any of them.  They usually seem to occur
when people mix and match the wrong packages.

At any rate, I'm totally lost.
