Yesterday I was trying to build unixODBC which requires the Qt libraries. unixODBC's ./configure script does a test compile with certain Qt headers to check if Qt is installed. The test script was failing with all sorts of undefined symbols that turned out to be missing because -lXft and -lfontconfig weren't specified in the script. (Apparently those libraries weren't needed with older versions of Qt.) In order to fix this I downloaded and built fontconfig 2.1. I then adjusted the ./configure to specify the additional libraries and I got the missing symbols resolved. Now, this morning, I go to boot up and find my xinit fails with this message: xfwm: relocation error: /usr/X11/lib/libXft.so.1: undefined symbol: FcPatternCreate A quick check with objdump shows that FcPatternCreate is defined in libfontconfig.so. So it looks like I have to get an updated xfwm that is linked with the newer fontconfig. Is that right? Meanwhile, how do I revert to an older version of fontconfig so I can get operational again? Oh,Oh. Just now I tried the qtconfig command to verify the version of Qt I have (it's libqt-mt.so.3.1.0) and I get this: qtconfig: relocation error: /usr/X11/lib/libXft.so.2: undefined symbol: FcInit This ship is sinking fast!
