installing dependence

#1 Post by Null »

hi, my name is ivan, and im novice debian user.

well, my problem is as follows:

i wanna install cairo from source, as i see in documentation, png functions isnt nessesary, however i installed libpng12-0_1.2.8rel-1_i386.deb with dpkg "sudo dpkg -i package". This works fine, but when i do ./configure into cairo's directory this dont detect png functions, but this is not the problem, i can make & make install cairo without any problem. But when i try to install pango, first i do ./configure, this create all make file succeful, and the line show me :
configuration:
backends: FreeType Cairo

ok, i folllow with make command, and this finish with an error
undefined reference to `cairo_surface_write_to_png'
i have already find this problem and i encountered that cairo-png.c is not compiled, so, libtool cant create cairo-png.lo to include the cairo-png.o.
i think this problems is because cairo installation dont detect png funciotns, but this is very weird because i am sure that i installed pnglib :?

if any ca help me, i apprecitae very much ever

You probably need the libpng12-dev package.
