FYI, I found one additional wrinkle compiling on fedora. Autoconf isn't
properly checking for the presence&correct version of package "pango-devel"
and this is causing a failure in ./configure with a message that doesn't
suggest a missing package:
checking for GTK2... configure: error: Package requirements (gtk+-2.0 >=
2.0.3) were not met:
Package pango was not found in the pkg-config search
path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `pango.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'pango', required by 'GDK', not found
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment
variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.
Alternatively, you may set the environment variables
GTK2_CFLAGS
and GTK2_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
Installing pango-devel-1.26.2-1.fc12.x86_64 allows ./configure to built the
Makefile.
