2007/12/23, Poor Yorick <org.freedesktop.lists.fontconfig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:> Compiling fontconfig on an NFS volume used by nodes on a compute grid, the build fails with the following error:>> make[2]: Entering directory `/path/to/src/fontconfig-2.5.0_linux/fontconfig-2.5.0/test'> Fontconfig warning: line 3: unknown element "cachedir"> /path/to/src/fontconfig-2.5.0_linux/fontconfig-2.5.0/fc-list/.libs/lt-fc-list: symbol lookup error: /path/to/src/fontconfig-2.5.0_linux/fontconfig-2.5.0/fc-list/.> libs/lt-fc-list: undefined symbol: FcFini> Fontconfig warning: line 3: unknown element "cachedir">Where did you get that error?

Here is the relevant snippet from fc-list (part of the relink_command variable): It may be different from your environment but I under my system: Solaris 10, Sparc 64, gcc 3.4.6 ( from sunfreeware ),/libtool-1.5.24-sol10-sparc-local the error in the OP could not be reproduced. -- Best Regards,Nguyen Hung Vu ( Nguyễn Vũ Hưng )vuhung16plus{remove}@gmail.dot.comAn inquisitive look at Harajukuhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/vuhung/sets/72157600109218238/_______________________________________________Fontconfig mailing listFontconfig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fontconfig
