Solution: configure: error: pangoxft Pango backend found but did not find freetype libraries.

Here is how we can solve the pango freetype library missing error

1. Run the terminal.
2. Goto the directory under particular configure file resides.
3. open the configure file by vi configure
edit the following lines as [comment it;add # in front of each line as shown]

# if $have_freetype ; then
# :
# else
# { { echo "$as_me:$LINENO: error: pangoxft Pango backend found but did not find freetype libraries" >&5
#echo "$as_me: error: pangoxft Pango backend found but did not find freetype libraries" >&2;}
# { (exit 1); exit 1; }; }
# fi

4. Now its over enjoy.

if u are using Debian go to synaptic manager and install all packages Related to libpango and libfreetype. Installing new version of pango may also solve this problem

Ctags: whats it? N how to use!

Well, whats the use of ctags. Ctags allows you to go to the function definition from function declaration even its not defined in same file. Suppose you have a program "add.c" and there is a function "calculate( )" in it. And "calculate( )" is defined some where else. If you have ctags you can go directly to definition by pointing the cursor to function and press "shift" + "]" . You can go back by pressing "ctrl" + "t".

First of all download this package, Exuberant Ctags. If you are using Debian you can get it from synaptic.

1.Open the terminal

2.Open the directory of the file[in this case dir where add.c resides. If in /home then cd home]

3.Type ctags -R on terminal or ctags -R[space]*

4.Open program add.c [as vi add.c]

5.Type :set tags=../../tags [if you run ctags -R outside the currrent directory, else just :set tags=./tags else :set tags=../tags as where you run "ctags -R"]

Its over.. enjoy..
