[NTLUG:Discuss] Anjuta & Pango Advisory.... (Anjuta-1.2.4)

[Spicerun]

Hi,

I just thought I would arrogantly post something you guys may or may not 
be aware of:

If you use Anjuta for your development, be aware that the newer pango 
(libpango) from versions 1.8.1 and above have induced  a bug in 
Anjuta-1.2.3 and earlier, where the code in the editor will appear 
overlaid, garbled, and in motion.

The Anjuta team has released anjuta-1.2.4 specifically to correct this 
problem. You can download this latest release from here:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=14222&package_id=11898&release_id=348812 
<http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=14222&package_id=11898&release_id=348812> 


Just untar the source tarball into a directory, Do 'configure', then 
'make', and 'make install' and it will compile and put anjuta-1.2.4 in 
your /usr/local/bin directory.

The other solution is to not install a new version of pango beyond 
1.8.0, so you can continue using your current version of Anjuta.

I have read that the alpha version of Anjuta-2.0.1 is also susceptible 
to this bug, but I do not know if the Anjuta Developers have fixed it 
yet for the 2.0.x series.

Hope this is helpful...

In case you don't know what anjuta is, it is a Gnome IDE Programmer's 
Environment which can generate standard gnu tarballs including the 
Developer's code for C, C++, Gnome, GTK, and wxWidgets programs.
