Hi,

I have installed the latest version of libglib-2.0 (2.28.0) and cairo 1.10.2

Then I have compiled R 2.12.1

But when i  I try to install Cairo (1.4-6) I get the following 
unreferenced Symbol error:

*** installing help indices
** building package indices ...
** testing if installed package can be loaded
Error : .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'Cairo', details:
   call: dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...)
   error: unable to load shared object 
'/opt/gnu/R-2.12.1/lib/R/library/Cairo/libs/Cairo.so':
   ld.so.1: R: fatal: relocation error: file 
/opt/gnu/corelib-1.1_32/lib//libcairo.so.2: symbol 
FT_Library_SetLcdFilter: referenced symbol not found
ERROR: loading failed
* removing '/opt/gnu/R-2.12.1/lib/R/library/Cairo'



This all I have done on Solaris with the Sun Studio 11 Compiler

When I configure cairo-1.10.2 I got:

checking for FT_Library_SetLCDFilter.... yes


Looks like it is anywhere on my system.

But why R does not find it - Need I a special Environment variable to 
define the location of the library that contains the object ? But from 
which library this object is comming ?

Thank for any hint

Reinhard
