That will put the necessary headerfiles in place and the errors go away. I still have a problem so: I am running the make install and it will break on running ft-cache for the URW font folder (segfaults). It contains 43 fonts (If you want to know which please ask by direct mail as I'm not subscribed). Is anybody interested in debugging this? I can go through the font list and try to find out which font exactly is the culprit. K.-H.
