(In reply to comment #0) > Cannot use the latest version because of the libsvg requirement to be later > than 2.15 when only 2.10 is available I don't understand this. The librsvg version requirement is only for *testing* cairo's SVG backend. It's not required for compiling and using cairo's SVG backend. so I am using 1.6.4 and have run across > the following problem on linux that even though the freetype and fontconfig are > installed it will not compile. For these, the next step would be to look into config.log and see what went wrong when the configure script attempted to compile a minimal program using freetype. But really, putting work into using 1.8 would be more worthwhile than getting 1.6 running. Have fun! -Carl This sounds like the issue with configure checking for FcFini() that caused it to ignore old versions of fontconfig. This is one of the many bugs fixed in the 1.8 stable release. I have to second Carl's statement that librsvg is only required for running the test suite and not for compiling cairo with support for the SVG backend. Please file a new bug if you cannot build 1.8 on your system. |
