I needed to install GTK2 to run eclipse.. With my desktop this went smoothly and less thatn 30 mins I got everything fixed. But now with my laptop I used same sources, configured them, make and make installs went through without errors, but now when I try to launch eclipse i get: "No fonts found, this propably means that the fontconfig library is not correctly configured. You may need to edit the fonts.conf"
I have fonts installed,
Ihave installed:
pkgconfig Xft (Xft2) fontconfig 2.1 glib 2.2.0 atk-1.2.0 Pango-1.2.0 gtk+-2.2.0
Any ideas how to get this working ?
Isn''t there a "setfontsdir" script in the fc_2.1/fontconfig directory? Maybe try copying the /etc/fonts/fonts.conf from the desktop to the laptop, assuming the fonts are the same? I just upgraded to gtk2.2 going on my desktop. I had to fight with it, and reinstall a couple of times, but finally it took. I don't know how I did it. I better backup now. :-) I got your same error somewhere along the way. My big stumbling block was not installing the packages in the precise order specified by the gtk install page. Glib2.2 , then pango, then atk, the gtk2. And pango needed libiconv and the fontconfig package. And pkg-config needed to be upgraded first, so that meant syncing the /usr/lib/pkgconfig directory with the newer /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig.
