Comment # 4 on bug 979917 from Dominique Leuenberger

Something is confusing me:

from your .pc file:
> Libs: -L${libdir} -lgdiplus -lglib-2.0  -lcairo   -lfontconfig -lfreetype  -lfreetype  -lXrender -lX11  -L${libjpeg_prefix}/lib -ljpeg -ltiff -lgif -lpng -lz -lexif 
>                                                                                                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

the one on my system:
> Libs: -L${libdir} -lgdiplus -lglib-2.0 -lcairo  -lfontconfig -lfreetype -lfreetype -lXrender -lX11 -ljpeg -ltiff -lgif -lpng -lz -lexif

> rpm -qf /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/libgdiplus.pc
libgdiplus-devel-3.12-1.3.x86_64

seems your libgdiplus-devel pkg is damaged.

What is your output of:
> rpm -qi libgdiplus-devel --qf "%{disturl}\n"
