I see.  configure suggest to optionally install gtk, even if you do
not have --enable-gui.  Fixed.

Good.  I had the impression you already experienced installation
problems to get where you are now.

Maybe you can help.  It looks to me as if you may not be using the
right tool, a low-end package installer that does not resolve
dependencies, such as rpm or dpkg; whereas you should probably be
using any of apt-get, apt-rpm, yum, synaptic, tasksel, dselect?

That does not look ok.  You need the package that fits with your
installation, so maybe it should be pango1.0-devel then.  Please see
if you can use a higher-level package installation tool to fix these
problems.
