Subject: [gentoo-user] gtk+ / Cairo / pdf-flag mutual build problem.

1 Did an "emerge --sync" and "emerge --ask --deep --update --world".
2 When emerge got to x11-libs/gtk+-2.10.6, the following happened...
3
4 checking for cups-config... /usr/bin/cups-config
5 checking cairo-pdf.h usability... no
6 checking cairo-pdf.h presence... no
7 checking for cairo-pdf.h... no
8 configure: error:
9 *** Can't find cairo-pdf.h. You must build Cairo with the pdf
10 *** backend enabled.

12 Probably because I start off USE with a "-*". Should be an easy fix,
13 insert "x11-libs/cairo pdf" into /etc/portage/package.use and rebuild
14 Cairo, then proceed with the emerge... *BUT*...
15
16 [m3000][root][~] emerge -pv cairo
17
18 These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
19
20 Calculating dependencies... done!
21 [ebuild R ] x11-libs/cairo-1.2.4 USE="X png -directfb -doc -glitz
22 -svg (-pdf%)" 0 kB
23
24 Oops... note the "(-pdf%)". This option is simply not allowed for
25 Cairo on my system. I threw in "--skipfirst" into the emerge command,
26 and it seems to be working so far. But back to my main problem... how
27 do I reconcile gtk+ and Cairo?
