Like most pango installations, your pangoxft.pc file has dependency
issues.  (Probably it depends on some other .pc file that doesn't
exist or something.)

The quick fix is to find it and edit it to include:

-L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXft -lXrender -lX11 -lfreetype2

on the libs line and see if that fixes it.  You may have to track down
some other libraries as well, or you may not need all of those.

Regardless, this is a packaging problem with your pango or xft, and
not gaim...  (although we'll help if we can)
