GEGL requires Pango >= 1.38 to build gegl:text since February. Looks like Ubuntu 14.04 ships with 1.36. Either way, this should be picked up when you configure GEGL. Is it possible you're building against a newer version of Pango than the one being picked up at runtime?

Actually, there was an interval where gegl:text would get built without checking this dependency, so it's possible that this is a leftover from an earlier build (although that would be weird if this problem only started recently.) You can manually remove "text.so" (and make sure that it's not getting reinstalled by a GEGL "make install") if that's the case. It shouldn't be a problem for GIMP for now, but in the long run it's better to get it built.

I have installed my dependencies directly on my gimp folder because I had different dependencies outdated on my distro. So, to install Pango 1.38 or higher is necessary to install also the dependencies of this version?
I have tried install in my 'make' environment the pango-1.38.1, but without success and on my ./configure (final part) has these messages:

checking whether the c++ linker (/usr/bin/ld -m elf_x86_64) supports shared libraries... yes

checking which cairo font backends could be used... none configure: Disabling cairo support
configure: error: *** Could not enable any backends. *** Must have at least one backend to build Pango. ---
Can you help to resolve the steps to follow?

Looks like Pango can't find the cairo freetype backend, which is strange because it's installed by the "libcairo2-dev" package on Ubuntu. If you're building cairo yourself, you might be missing some dependencies required to build freetype support.

Ok, now is Ok!
After LGM I am thinking install a new release of my distro... the current, sure is becoming a bit outdated ;-) To install the new release of Pango is not recommended on my ubuntu-gnome 14.04?

You can probably install a new Pango relase on 14.04 if you're persistent enough, but a shiny new distro is always better :)
