So, I just watched six or seven gnome packages deleted because pango is
obsolete and won't compile:

checking for libgnome-2.0 >= 2.0.0 libgnomecanvas-2.0 >= 2.0.0 
libbonoboui-2.0 >= 2.0.0 gconf-2.0 >= 1.1.11 pango >= 1.1.2... Package 
libbonoboui-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libbonoboui-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libbonoboui-2.0' found

configure: error: Library requirements (libgnome-2.0 >= 2.0.0 
libgnomecanvas-2.0 >= 2.0.0 libbonoboui-2.0 >= 2.0.0 gconf-2.0 >= 1.1.11 
pango >= 1.1.2) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH 
environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so 
pkg-config can find them.


When I try to compile pango I get this:
ld: cannot find -lfontconfig
gmake[3]: *** [pango-querymodules] Error 1


Of course, libfonconfig is right where it belongs:
  #ls -l /usr/pkg/lib/libfontconfig.*
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  187644 Dec 20 09:51 /usr/pkg/lib/libfontconfig.a

-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  175210 Dec 20 09:51

Will someone PLEASE fix gnome so it works for more than one day!
