Hi,<br> please help me compiling and installing Cairo on a Linux machine. When I do a do <span style="font-weight: bold;">./configure --prefix=/home/myhome </span>...it exits with the folling message:<br><br><span style="font-weight: bold;">
configure: WARNING: Could not find libpng in the pkg-config search path</span><br style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">checking whether cairo's PNG backend could be enabled... no</span><br style="font-weight: bold;">
<span style="font-weight: bold;">configure: error: requested PNG backend could not be enabled</span><br style="font-weight: bold;"><br>I also tried with <br><br><span style="font-weight: bold;">./configure --prefix=/home/myhome --disable-png
</span><br><br>but it still complains<br><br><span style="font-weight: bold;">configure: error: Cairo requires at least one font backend.</span><br style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"> Please install freetype and fontconfig, then try again:
</span><br style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"> <a href="http://freetype.org/">http://freetype.org/</a> <a href="http://fontconfig.org/">http://fontconfig.org/</a></span><br style="font-weight: bold;">
<br>I don't have admin / install privileges and thus I am trying to install it in my home folder with the --prefix command line argument to configure. I also compiled and installed both libpng and freetype and fontconfig in my home directory and did set the
<span style="font-weight: bold;">LD_LIBRARY_PATH </span>to <span style="font-weight: bold;">/home/myhome/lib</span> and <span style="font-weight: bold;">PKG_CONFIG_PATH </span>to <span style="font-weight: bold;">/home/myhome/lib/pkgconfig
</span>but it's of no use.<br><br>Please help me with compilation of Cairo.<br><br>Thanks a ton,<br>Divick<br>
