Later, Google let me know that the correct compile/install order is Xft -> Pango -> Gtk+. Only in this order will Xft backend be compiled by Pango. I suddenly remembered that when I "./configure" in Pango src directory, in the end it told me "backend: Freetype X". So I went back to Pango src directory, and "make uninstall", "make distclean", then "./configure", "make", "make install" smoothly. At the end of "./configure", it told me "backend: Freetype X Xft", yes, that's it. Now gtk+-2.6.7 has been compiled and installed successfully. Btw, ask an off-topic question: Most packages (like glib, gtk, etc) requires the use of GNU make, instead of inborn make. So I downloaded GNU make 3.80 and compiled, installed into /usr/local/bin. And to use it conveniently, I made a symbolic link "ln -s /usr/local/bin/make /usr/bin/gmake". But when I typed "gmake" in the package's src folder, it tolde me "gmake: Command not found". I "echo $PATH", just to confirm "/usr/bin" and "/usr/local/bin" are all in my working path. So why doesn't it work as expected? In this case, I always compiled them with "/usr/local/bin/make" and "/usr/local/bin/make install". Too much trouble. Anyone can help me on this?

In short, just as the error message implies: replace the line "#include <freetype/freetype.h>" with the following two lines: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% #include <ft2build.h> #include FT_FREETYPE_H %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Now xft 2.1.2 can be compiled and installed.
