RE: pango problem with lilypond 2.7

[Michael Porcaro]

"You have sucessfully compiled and installed LilyPond, then?"

Correct, it installs fine, without force.

"The reason I asked about python, is that when building/installing
LilyPond python runs lilypond with generated file names.  I did
not recognize the name"

Yes, I should have mentioned that lilypond installs without a problem.

"You suspect pango.  Have you checked your pango installation?  What
pango version do you have?  Do other pango programs (eg, gedit) work?"

Yes I think pango is the culprit.

Pango 1.2 seems to work the best (I installed it through Yum, and the
highest version it installs is 1.2)  I can't install pango 1.6 or
greater without force, because it complains about me missing glib 2.4.
For instance, when I install pango 1.8 with force, I get this  error:

lilypond: relocation error: 

/usr/lib/libpangoft2-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol:
g_type_class_add_private

When I install pango 1.10.1-6, I get this error:

lilypond: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found (required by
/usr/lib/libpango-1.0.so.0)

At least pango 1.2 seems to recognize libpango-1.0.so.0 (just has a
confusing variable error).  It also seems to process, somewhat.

Is my only hope of installing a new version of lilypond moving on to
another server who will support glib 2.4?  Do I have to resort to 2.2.6
since it is the only version that seems to work on my server?
