In general, if you want N, you do "yum search N" or "emerge --search N" or whatever your distro's equivalent is *before* you try to compile N from source. It's usually a lot easier and faster. I'd be very surprised if your distro doesn't have a package for poppler. Also, poppler is for making PDFs. If you don't need to make PDFs right now, fuggeddabouttit and deal with it later. >> No package 'fontconfig' found >> Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you >> installed software in a non-standard prefix. poppler's ./configure is using pkg-config to look for the cflags, headers, libraries, and so forth for fontconfig. And it's failing. This is suboptimal, but I get absolutely nothing from "pkg-config --cflags fontconfig" even though I've got fontconfig and fontconfig-devel installed on this CentOS box, and /usr/lib/pkgconfig/ has a fontconfig.pc file in it. (pkgconfig problems, sigh.) So, you can fix poppler's configure script[1], or you can *install your distro's package(s) for poppler*, where someone's already done all the work of compiling it and putting all of its dependencies in the right place. > whole mess of fontconfigs on my system so it isn't a matter of installing > the program but rather of getting poppler to see that it is installed. See above. [0] Gentoo is the exception here [1] I remember running into something like this at some point with poppler; it took a couple of days for the Gentoo people to release a patch. -- Matt G / Dances With Crows The Crow202 Blog: http://crow202.org/wordpress/ There is no Darkness in Eternity/But only Light too dim for us to see --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
