Hi, On Monday I downloaded the latest gimp-1.3.21, expecting to be able to have a sparkling new version to play with by sometime that afternoon. No such luck. I'm running into the following problem: checking PANGOFT2_CFLAGS... -I/usr/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include checking PANGOFT2_LIBS... -Wl,--export-dynamic -lpangoft2-1.0 -lpango-1.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -ldl -lglib-2.0 checking for fontconfig >= 2.2.0... Requested 'fontconfig >= 2.2.0' but version of Fontconfig is 1.0.1 configure: error: Library requirements (fontconfig >= 2.2.0) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them. So far this loks straightforward -- I need a later version of fontconfig, right? So I go download the fontconfig-2.2.1-4.i386.rpm and the fontcnfig-devel-2.2.1-4.i386.rpm from RedHat and try to upgrade. Well, the upgrade doesn't quite work: [root@thoth RPMS]# rpm -Uvh --oldpackage fontconfig*2.1-9*.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:fontconfig ########################################### [ 50%] error: %post(fontconfig-2.1-9) scriptlet failed, exit status 127 2:fontconfig-devel ########################################### [100%] But after a little fiddling I seem to have 2.2.1-9 installed. But then I cannot get past the gtk+ tests, bacause there's a problem with FT_Get_BDF_Property being undefined in /usr/lib/fontconfig.so.1. After two days of beating my head against this, I'm asking for help. I must be doing something wrong, probably something really simple, but it feels like I'm looking at the problem from the wrong angle. Does gimp-1.3.21 suddenly need fontconfig-2.2.0 or greater, where gimp-1.3.20 didn't? Am I somehow screwing up the rpm upgrade from the original RH9 install (fontconfig-2.1-9)? If so, how should I try to get rpm to upgrade when there are dependencies like fontconfig/fontconfig-devel involved? Or is my download somehow corrupt and I should try it again?
