It seems most likely that the FONTCONFIG_PATH didn't get defined correctly. Check your Makefile in src and ensure that you have something like: .... sysconfdir = /etc ... CONFDIR = ${sysconfdir}/fonts ... INCLUDES = $(FREETYPE_CFLAGS) $(EXPAT_CFLAGS) -DFONTCONFIG_PATH='"$(CONFDIR)"' -I$(top_srcdir) -I$(top_srcdir)/src Then run 'strings' on fccfg.o and make sure /etc/fonts is present in the object file. -keith
