Re: [Visualpython-users] Instructions for building VPython on MacOSX 10.3 and Python 2.3

[Kelvin C. <kel...@uv...>]

I'm no expert, but my machine doesn't have pango installed at all.   
Therefore, is it there because you've used it for another package?  A  
quick search through the 10.3/stable directory shows that the packages  
below depend upon pango.  I have gtk+ installed, but not gtk+2.

habanero[~]% find /sw -name \*.info -print | grep -v unstable | grep  
10.3 | xargs grep pango | grep -i depends | cut -d ":" -f 1

/sw/fink/10.3/stable/main/finkinfo/editors/bluefish.info
/sw/fink/10.3/stable/main/finkinfo/games/dopewars.info
/sw/fink/10.3/stable/main/finkinfo/games/dopewars.info
/sw/fink/10.3/stable/main/finkinfo/gnome/gtk+2-2.0.6-4.info
/sw/fink/10.3/stable/main/finkinfo/gnome/gtk+2-2.0.6-4.info
/sw/fink/10.3/stable/main/finkinfo/gnome/pango1-dev.info
/sw/fink/10.3/stable/main/finkinfo/gnome/pango1-shlibs.info
/sw/fink/10.3/stable/main/finkinfo/gnome/pango1.info
/sw/fink/10.3/stable/main/finkinfo/gnome/pygtk2-py23.info
/sw/fink/10.3/stable/main/finkinfo/gnome/pygtk2-py23.info
/sw/fink/10.3/stable/main/finkinfo/net/gaim.info
/sw/fink/10.3/stable/main/finkinfo/net/pan.info

None of them appear to be required for vpython.
