Hi, Erik Saline <esaline@xxxxxxxxxxx> writes: > I type sudo ./configure PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/X11R6/bin --without-libjpeg Why would you run configure as root? Stop doing that! Perhaps we should add 'rm -rf /' to the configure script to teach people not to do such stupid things. The only part of the compilation process that needs priviledged permissions is when you run 'make install'. Next, please read the pkg-config manpage. Your settings for PKG_CONFIG_PATH don't make any sense. I doubt that you have .pc files in /usr/X11R6/bin. > And here are the errors. > > checking for freetype-config... /usr/X11R6/bin/freetype-config > checking For sufficiently new FreeType (at least 2.0.1)... no > configure: error: Xft Pango backend is required for x11 target > > I have installed freetype. Where does GTK look for the > 'sufficiently new FreeType'. Well, read the error message. GTK+ tells you where it found freetype-config. If you need more details, check config.log.
