Pango library missing

Closed this issue · 5 comments

I am working on Ubuntu 24.04 and with Python 3.12. After installing WeasyPrint using "sudo apt" and "pip install" I have not been able to solve the following problem:

OSError: cannot load library 'pango-1.0-0': pango-1.0-0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. Additionally, ctypes.util.find_library() did not manage to locate a library called 'pango-1.0-0'

what can I do?

Hi,

WeasyPrint is packaged for Ubuntu, you don’t even need to use pip.

sudo apt install weasyprint
weasyprint --info

Does it work for you?

I'm having this same issue, but on macOS 14.6 using python 3.10.5.

That’s not the same problem, please open a new issue.

I removed weasyprint from pip and installed as same as you said, but I still have the same error executing weasyprint --info. I want to use it in a Python project.

Then there’s something really wrong with your Ubuntu installation.

When you type these two lines in a fresh terminal, you get the Pango error? If so, there’s nothing I can do to help you. Maybe you’ll get more useful help on a Ubuntu forum.

The problem is because I am using Python through Anaconda, so I have to install pango with the conda command:

 conda install anaconda::pango
