libcairo.so: undefined reference to `FT_GlyphSlot_Embolden'

[ryanfx]

Hey everyone,

I've been trying to recompile a new version of GTK+2.0 that is required for a couple programs I want to run. I installed everything from source, and I installed all of the dependencies. When I do a configure on GTK, it successfully configures, but when I "make" it, it doesn't finish and spits out this error. Would anyone be able to help step me through how to fix this?

/usr/local/lib/libcairo.so: undefined reference to `FT_GlyphSlot_Embolden'

A couple of things to try... You are sure pango is installed? Also, before running configure, run:

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Worth a try...
