Note that if you remove this directory from the Maekfile.am, you'll
be missing the pangox.aliases file so you won't get a working Pango
installation. You'd be better off commenting out the viewer
program in the examples directory.

Can you provide the actual errors you got on compilation?

There's a standard linux distribution? ;-)

No, it works with any qt-2.x.

$ libtool --mode=execute ldd pango-viewer 
[...]
        libqt.so.2 => /usr/lib/qt-2.3.1/lib/libqt.so.2 (0x401f7000)
