Ruby/Pango compilation error (Was: [Alexandria-list] trouble getting Alexandria to run)

[Laurent Sansonetti]

Hi Dan,

I forward your e-mail to the Ruby-GNOME2 mailing list.

Could you give us the output of the pango/mkmf.log file that has been
created by extconf.rb?

Also, some info about your system, such as your version of Ruby, GNOME
libs (GTK, Pango, ...).

Thanks

Laurent
