From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040312 Epiphany/1.2.0 Description of problem: #pkg-config --modversion xrander Package xrander was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `xrander.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'xrander' found Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-devel-0.0.6.6-0.0.2004_03_11.6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. xrander isn't in /usr/lib/pkgconfig 2.#pkg-config --list-all 3. Package 'xrender', required by 'Xcursor', not found Additional info:
xrender.pc is created by GNU autotools when building libXrender from the upstream sources outside of an XFree86/Xorg build, however it is not created (never has been) when Xrender is built by Imake inside the X build tree. I've done some very ugly hacks in the past to try to accomodate xrender.pc (and xft.pc also), but they're not very reliable, in particular when these libraries get updated. The best solution for this problem, will be when we split Xft and Xrender out into their own separate packages. Possibly for FC2test3.
Please see http://www.kde.gr.jp/~akito/patch/fontconfig/xft-2.1.1/ for cjk users.
I'm not quite sure how the patches at the URL in comment #2 relate to the xrender.pc file missing, however if there are any enhancements for Xft which you'd like to see included, please submit the patches directly to the upstream Xft development by filing an enhancement bug report at http://bugs.freedesktop.org against the Xft component. Once your enhancements are accepted by the upstream Xft developers and included in an official release of libXft, it will eventually appear in a future Red Hat Xft build.
"when we split Xft and Xrender out into their own separate packages." - Please add makebold patch. Already bug reported : http://freedesktop.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=102 I'm sorry that my comments isn't proper.
I won't add the makebold patch referenced above to our libXft, as that would make it differ significantly from upstream libXft, and the support maintenance burden for libXft would then fall entirely on Red Hat. However, if the makebold patch is considered safe and sane by the upstream Xft developers, they might include it in a future release of libXft. If that happens, then this feature will be included in a future Red Hat OS release once we integrate the upstream libXft into the distribution which contains this new feature.
