GTK2, Suse, Mono, and build pain
So I decided I wanted to build Mono 1.1.10 from src on Suse 9.1. Thus started a many-day dependency nightmare. Try to build X, X needs Y, try to build Y, Y needs Z, etc. But got reallllly close ... and ...
Kept getting "can't load libcairopango" errors when trying to build gtk2 (latest, 2.8.something). After much pain and suffering, I finally realized that the *.la files in /usr/local/lib are basically library manifests. So I went through the libcairopango.so.la file and figured out it listed /usr/local/lib/libexpat.la, which wasn't present. Even thought libexpat was install on the system.So I downloaded libexpat src, ./configure, make, make all, and poof that was fixed. AND THEN ...
Some weird make error about glib-genmarshal not being found. I found it in /usr/local/bin, but not /usr/bin. I linked it (and two other glib-* tools) from /usr/local/bin to /usr/bin and IT WORKED.GTK2 installed. Now for Mono's gtksharp.
In the end, I want to run MonoDevelop. Wish me luck :)
