Hello. As title suggests I'm trying to compile GTK+. Right now I'm stuck with dependencies - pango/cairo

I seemed to make and install cairo without any problems, but I'm stuck with pango.

when configuring I get this error :


checking for CoreText availability... no
checking for CAIRO... yes
checking which cairo font backends could be used... none
configure: Disabling cairo support
configure: error: *** Could not enable any backends.
*** Must have at least one backend to build Pango.

I googled for this problem and tried few solutions, but didn't manage to get this fixed.

Here is full config output.. *PasteBin*

Pango version : 1.32.5 Cairo version : 1.12.8 Ubuntu 12.04

Please let me know for any additional info. Thank you for any help

So I just installed "gnome-core-devel" this seemed to do the job.
