gEDA-user: How to make PDF export working on gerbv on CentOS 5.1

[primorec <geda.mail@xxxxxxxxx>]

Before I forget.
I was able to convince gerbv (2.1-trunk) to export PDF out of multilayer
GRB files by doing the following:
system: CentOS 5.1 ( with all updates)

ooo  download pixman
       wget http://www.cairographics.org/releases/pixman-0.10.0.tar.gz
ooo  download cairo
        wget http://www.cairographics.org/releases/cairo-1.6.4.tar.gz
ooo  untar/unzip pixman
ooo  cd pixman-0.10.0
ooo  ./configure
ooo  make
ooo  make install
ooo  cd ..
ooo  untar/unzip cairo
ooo  cd cairo-1.6.4
ooo  export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
ooo  ./configure
ooo  make
ooo  make install
ooo  ldd `which gerbv`
ooo  gerbv should be linked to
     libcairo.so.2 => /usr/local/lib/libcairo.so.2 (0x00e92000)
ooo  gerbv *.gbr  (if you have .gbr files available)
ooo  export GBR as PDF
ooo  IT WORKS !!

Have phun ;)
