In order for Pango to find xft2, the PKG_CONFIG_PATH must include /usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig. This is a good place to add it if you haven't already. Specific instructions for modifying this variable can be found in the configuration section of pkgconfig-0.15.0.
Install Pango by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc && make && make install |
--sysconfdir=/etc: This switch installs the configuration files into /etc instead of /usr/etc.
--enable-gtk-doc: This switch will rebuild the API documentation during the make command.
The Pango package contains libpango libraries.
Pango libraries contain low level layout rendering routines, a high level driver for laying out entire blocks of text, and routines to assist in editing internationalized text.
