Compiling X.Org Error

I'm trying to compile X.Org 6.8.1 on my Slackware 10.0 and I got this error in the log file.

Code:

Make sure you have libfreetype6 installed (development version, if slackware splits those up like debian does).

Ok I installed freetype and now I'm getting another error.

This time it found the ft2build.h file but not the ftheader.h file. I think it's looking in the wrong folder for it because I have it in /usr/local/include/freetype2/freetype/config.

Edit: I found the problem... there's supposed to be a symlink to freetype2/freetype called freetype in /usr/local/include.

Eh, can you explain where you got libfreetype6 from?

I solved this one after a long search
upgrade to the latest dev-version of fontconfig
I got it by CVS.

This just saved me some time.

EDIT: Sorry, wrong threat.
