Timoth=E9e,

I went back and removed fontconfig, freetype, pango, and atk. I got
cairo-1.2.4 to build and install successfully with

  ./configure --enable-atsui --enable-quartz --enable-freetype=3Dno
--enable-xlib=3Dno

Question: Do I need xlib for wxt on a Mac?

I then went back and rebuilt and reinstalled wxMac-2.6.3 in case it was
dependent on cairo for headers, libraries, etc.

Then I attempted a rebuild of gnuplot-4.2.rc1. The ./configure is still
looking for pango:

<snip>
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for CAIROPANGO... configure: WARNING: Package requirements (cairo
>=3D 0.9.0 pango >=3D 1.10 pangocairo >=3D 1.10) for the
wxWidgets terminal were not met:

No package 'pango' found
No package 'pangocairo' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you can avoid the need to call pkg-config if you set the
environment variables CAIROPANGO_CFLAGS and CAIROPANGO_LIBS to the
corresponding flags for cairo, pango, and pangocairo.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

As a result, no wxt terminal was built. Is there a way to not use pango and
still build a wxt terminal?

The apparent pango dependency is what led me down the primrose path to
fontconfig, freetype, etc., on my last build attempt. Maybe the make file
needs some changes for the Mac?
