The problem this time was that I didn't have /usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig in $PKG_CONFIG_PATH... My head is exploding with all the variables I hafta set to make this stuff work... I don't really use packages on this system, by the way, I am (mostly) building everything from scratch, so all the headers are already on the system. FT2 I had to download to successfully build the sources from X.org, so it's here... *shrugs*. I'm attempting another build here, now that 'make' is running... Okay. So it finally built successfully... *sigh* That took way too long to do. However, I had to change one file to make this work.... I don't recall exactly how to use 'diff' for sure at the moment, and I don't know how many files would need changed to make things work with the latest FreeType, however, on this system, it wouldn't build unless the line that read: #include <freetype/freetype.h> ... was commented out and replaced with: #include <ft2build.h> #include FT_FREETYPE_H Seems fairly stupid to me, because I don't see why you'd want to do that. Anyway, the file that I had to do that in was pango-ot.h from the Pango header files that were installed in /usr/include/pango-1.0/pango when I re-installed that. Someone who has access to Pango's centralized source base may want to make that change in their code and retar the distro... Just an idea. Thanks!
