Comments for Pango

RPM update messed up computer
I updated pango recently, and it failed to work. I couldn't figure out what was wrong or how to fix it, cuz I couldn't see any text in gnome. I finally figured out that it was pango, I installed KDE (I could see text in KDE for some reason), I downgraded to an old version of pango, and it worked fine. I don't know what went wrong, but I don't plan on updating it for a while.

compiling error
i cant compile pango on my system i dunno why i do everything as it is into the manual but i have the following error everytime:
