that'd be it, then --- you need to install the dev packages for pango and all
of its dependencies.  pkg-config looks through all of the dependencies in each
.pc file so it can remove duplicate items in cflags and libs, so it will barf
if you don't have everything it wants.

somehow you wound up with gtk+ and glib's development packages installed but
not some of their dependencies.  this sounds like you forced a package
installation (rpm or deb), or possibly the dependencies on the packages were
not complete.
