Description LEE 2014-12-07 09:31:37 UTC

failed after configuring pango-1.36.8 version.

I already installed cairo latest version and was no problem with it.

but messages told me there is no cairo and its backends.

Wonder how to handle this situation.

How did you install cairo? If from a distro package: Did you also install libcairo2-dev (or whatever your distro calls the devel package)? If by hand: How exactly?

Could you provide the output of `pkg-config --modversion cairo`?

Comment 2 LEE 2014-12-07 14:58:10 UTC

lee@lee-8100-Series:~$ pkg-config --modversion cairo
1.14.0


Its 1.14.0


I installed libcairo2-dev.

thanks

I also installed 1.14.0 and 1.12.x by hand.

Comment 4 LEE 2014-12-07 16:52:42 UTC

May Worked ( typying 'su' in terminal to go to root and './configure' or 'auto-apt run ./configure' and 'make' and 'make install' in the order


- How to get the auto-apt -

sudo apt-get install auto-apt   (to get auto-apt)

sudo auto-apt update-local update (to update)

sudo auto-apt update update-db (to update)

form the site (http://www.ubuntu-kr.org/viewtopic.php?p=34471)

If I understand the last comment, it sounds like cairo had been built but not installed?

If you're building against a non-installed build of Cairo, you'll of course need to do some pkg-config futzing to get your app to properly locate cairo's files.
