It means it probably did not find the pango development package (the headers to the pango libraries). These are only needed when compiling a program that will use the library.

Once build the headers are no longer needed, whcih is why they are typically not installed on most user oriented systems.

You just need to install the pango development package.

You may need to tell "configure" where they are (CFLAG options) if you are manually adding pango to your system.
When configure can see (and test) the header, it will set up the software to use them when you compile.

Hi,

I installed IM from scratch and pango , both are installed correctly - but ... now when i'm trying to use pango to convert i get this output:
(process:8096): Pango-WARNING **: pango_layout_set_markup_with_accel: Error on line 1 char 15: Invalid UTF-8 encoded text in name - not valid '\xf0\xe9\xf1\xe9\xe5\xef'
convert: Error on line 1 char 15: Invalid UTF-8 encoded text in name - not valid 'ניסיון' `ניסיון' @ error/pango.c/ReadPANGOImage/339.
convert: no pixels defined in cache `ניסיון' @ error/cache.c/OpenPixelCache/3986.

Any ideas ?

What is the exact convert command line you are using? We need to reproduce the problem before we can comment.
