Pango/Xft compile problem

[Frank Hrebabetzky <frankh terra com br>]

GTK is needed for a bunch of X-Windows programs, and it requires pango, so
I downloaded pango-1.0.5. I tried to install, but during ./configure, the
following lines appeared:

..
checking for XftFontOpen in -lXft... yes
checking X11/Xft/XftFreetype.h usability... no
checking X11/Xft/XftFreetype.h presence... yes
configure: WARNING: X11/Xft/XftFreetype.h: present but cannot be compiled
configure: WARNING: X11/Xft/XftFreetype.h: check for missing prerequisite headers?
configure: WARNING: X11/Xft/XftFreetype.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result
checking for X11/Xft/XftFreetype.h... yes
checking for pkg-config... /usr/local/bin/pkg-config
..

So a certain include file, XftFreetype.h is there but cannot be compiled
for some reason. Consequently, make fails, see output below. I looked
around on the web and found a hint to use a newer version of XFree86, at
least 4.2.0, and I am using 4.3.0. The problem is really annoying because
I cannot use mozilla, gnumeric, abiword, all these dayly tools.

Thanks in advance, and here is the make output:
