hi, just for those who happen to run into this compiler problem (i saw some posts on this while trying to figure out what to do about it) here is what it caused in my case: i am running linux from the suse 8.0 distro and was trying to install fontconfig2.2.90 i realized that PS_FontInfoRec had to be defined by the freetype lib. but my (system) header files in /usr/include/freetype2 did not. so i downloaded freetype2.1.4 and installed that. i assured that the correct freetype-config was taken and... that's it. so, in short, you may have compatibility problems between fontconfig sources and the installed freetype version on your system. greetings daniel __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
