I am trying to installl gtk on my fresh install of debian. I installed
glib, atk, pango, pangoxft, freetype and hundred other dependencies, went
into several errors and solved them through googling and one time actually
changing the header file. However I am stuck at this problem and can't find
the solution for. While configuring gtk I get an error

checking Pango
flags... -I/usr/local/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/local/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/local/lib/glib-2.0/include
-I/usr/X11R6/include -Wl,--export-dynamic -L/usr/local/lib -lpangoxft-1.0
-lpangox-1.0 -lpango-1.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -ldl -lglib-2.0
configure: error:
*** Can't link to Pango. Pango is required to build
*** GTK+. For more information see http://www.pango.org


Can anybody give some pointers?

Thanks
