From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003 Steps to Reproduce: pkg-config --libs xft should say that it can't find dependency fontconfig which is in fontconfig-devel.
I don't really see the problem. If you're linking just with Xft, then your app isn't using fontconfig directly. If you are using fontconfig directly, then your app should BuildRequires: fontconfig-devel Owen, comment?
You definitely want this Requires: ... Xft.h includes fontconfig.h, so even if you never use a single constant from fontconfig.h you need the fontconfig-devel package.
Verified. There was a Requires "fontconfig" there, I've changed it to fontconfig-devel now, which has a dep on fontconfig. Fixed in 20021210.1 in rawhide
