Hello, I've been trying to install fontconfig 2.3.0 on a distributed system, and I'm having a bit of trouble doing so. First, I should explain that all OSS software is kept on an AFS server. Linux & Solaris machines are hooked up to this server, and the links are craftily arranged so that each system only sees its own binaries, libraries, etc. As you might imagine, it's a nightmare. However, I generally don't have too many problems getting things to work properly. Anyways, here's my problem: When I try to build fontconfig under Linux, it compiles and links properly - but the test fails. I currently have things configured thusly: ./configure --prefix=/afs/engr.wisc.edu/oss/fontconfig-2.3.0/i386_linux24 I have also tried: (as well as many other combinations of the below flags) ./configure --prefix=/afs/engr.wisc.edu/oss/fontconfig-2.3.0/i386_linux24 --enable-dependency-tracking --disable-fast-install --disable-libtool-lock --with-freetype-config=/afs/engr.wisc.edu/oss/bin/freetype-config I do not recieve any errors or warnings during compile/link time, but when it comes time for the testing, this is the output from run-test.sh: /afs/engr.wisc.edu/oss/fontconfig-2.3.0/src/fontconfig-2.3.0/fc-list/.libs/lt-fc-list: relocation error: /afs/engr.wisc.edu/oss/fontconfig-2.3.0/src/fontconfig-2.3.0/fc-list/.libs/lt-fc-list: undefined symbol: FcFini /afs/engr.wisc.edu/oss/fontconfig-2.3.0/src/fontconfig-2.3.0/fc-list/.libs/lt-fc-list: relocation error: /afs/engr.wisc.edu/oss/fontconfig-2.3.0/src/fontconfig-2.3.0/fc-list/.libs/lt-fc-list: undefined symbol: FcFini /afs/engr.wisc.edu/oss/fontconfig-2.3.0/src/fontconfig-2.3.0/fc-list/.libs/lt-fc-list: relocation error: /afs/engr.wisc.edu/oss/fontconfig-2.3.0/src/fontconfig-2.3.0/fc-list/.libs/lt-fc-list: undefined symbol: FcFini *** Test failed: Basic check *** output is in 'out', expected output in 'out.expected' I am using freetype2, but an older version of freetype is installed in the system for the sake of old dependencies. I have tried using cc and gcc, with both make and gmake. These are the applicable environment variables: # directory crap to make the following more readable OSS="/afs/engr.wisc.edu/oss" GNU="/afs/engr.wisc.edu/gnu" OSSRW="/afs/.engr.wisc.edu/oss" ARCH=`/usr/afsws/bin/fs sysname | cut -d \' -f2` FOLDER="fontconfig-2.3.0" # C(++) compiler CC="gcc" CXX="gcc" # compiler/linker flags, etc CPPFLAGS="-I$OSS/include/freetype2 -I$OSS/include" CXXFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS" C_INCLUDE_PATH="" CPP_INCLUDE_PATH="$C_INCLUDE_PATH" LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$OSS/lib" LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" LD_OPTIONS="" CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall" LDFLAGS="-Wl,--rpath -Wl,$OSS/$FOLDER/$ARCH/lib -Wl,-L$OSS/$FOLER/$ARCH/lib -Wl,--rpath -Wl,$OSS/lib -Wl,-L$OSS/lib -Wl,-liconv" PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$OSS/lib/pkgconfig" # path PATH="$OSS/bin:/opt/SUNWspro/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/csw/bin:/usr/sfw/bin:/usr/afsws/bin:/usr/afsws/sbin:/usr/openwin/bin" I decided to try running src/.libs/fc-list for myself, and I found that the output it produced was **IDENTICAL** to that of fc-list from my previous installation of fontconfig - the only obvious difference being the "relocation error"/"undefined symbol" message at the end. Another (perhaps unrelated problem) is that gcc was not linking properly with libiconv; hence the manual "-Wl,-liconv" in the LDFLAGS environment variable. Please help, this installation has given me no end of frustration in the past couple days. Thanks, -Greg
