[Scribus] cairo /glitz problems

[Bart Alberti]

Here is a message found after searching google for "glitz suse".
I send it tongue in cheek. The solution seems to be that 'pango'
had been overwritten and it should have been re-installed.
This is in SuSE 92, which I have; so it hits home here;
apparently SUSe 9.3 has the upgraded libraries? I will go to 9.3
as soon as I can. These are the ./confgure options for me:
Dare I continue?

Hello, i think i've done a disaster.. well, i tried installing 
Mail-Notification (aka tray-icon).
All dependecies were ok, it only asked to install some more pakets, i 
think (not sure) Pango, Cairo-devel, libcairo and others. I let it do.
I have many sources in Yast so it downloaded directly from the mirrors. 
I run Suse 9.2.

After that, everything has got screwed, averything that has a system 
tray icon like xchat, gaim, stardict... nothing works any more and 
returns a Segmentation Fault error.

After installing Mail-Notification, even not choosing anything in Yast, 
i had the dependency conflicts with Cairo-devel, glitz-devel, gmime, 
libcairo, pango.
I tried removing Mail-Notification: hell of dependencies. Ignored them 
and removed that devil and now i have no more dependencies broken at 
first glance in Yast, but still all the tray applications do not work 
(segmentation fault, always).

If i try deleting Cairo or Pango, (i don't remember exactly but it seems 
to me that were installed with Mail-Notification)... disaser of other 
dependencies, 100+ ...

I didn't expected such a mess only for installing a little package... 
Now what can i do? SOS please !!
