Details - Hi. I'm attempting to get Awesome 3.5.5 running on Redhat Enterprise Linux version 5.
I have built all of the dependencies for Awesome and managed to get it to compile. The resulting binary segfaults when running via NX
and produces the following error when running in VNC

error while running function
stack traceback:
...ackage/awesome-3.5.5/share/awesome/lib/beautiful.lua:47: in function 'load_font'
...ackage/awesome-3.5.5/share/awesome/lib/beautiful.lua:59: in function 'set_font'

error: ...ackage/awesome-3.5.5/share/awesome/lib/beautiful.lua:47: attempt to call field 'font_map_get_default' (a nil value)

If I strace it, I see the following before it exits

16028 open("/tool/pandora/.package/lua-5.1.5/share/lua/5.1/lgi/override/PangoCairo.lua", O_RDONLY) = 6
16028 fstat64(6, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=1562, ...}) = 0
16028 mmap2(NULL, 65536, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x55e7d000
16028 read(6, "--------------------------------"..., 65536) = 1562
16028 read(6, "", 65536) = 0
16028 close(6) = 0
16028 munmap(0x55e7d000, 65536) = 0
16028 stat64("libpangocairo-1.0.so.0", 0xfff18b2c) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
16028 stat64("libpangocairo-1.0.so.0.so", 0xfff18b2c) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
16028 stat64("libpangocairo-1.0.so.0.la", 0xfff18b2c) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
16028 write(2, "error while running function\nsta"..., 704) = 704
16028 write(2, "E: awesome: main:535: ", 22) = 22
16028 write(2, "couldn't find any rc file", 25) = 25

Which looks like it can't find the pangocairo libraries. I have those installed in a separate nfs mounted directory.
How do I tell lua and/or lgi where to look for the libraries?

I guess via the normal way: Setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the environment.

Why exactly is "my installation is broken" a problem with awesome?

Try running this in a terminal: lua -e 'print(require("lgi").PangoCairo.font_map_get_default())'
