Help trying to install fontconfig-2.2.90


I installed freetype-2.1.9 because fontconfig requires it. When I run the configure script for fontconfig I get the following error message from /usr/local/include/freetype2/freetype/freetype.h

Quote:
#ifndef FT_FREETYPE_H
#error "`ft2build.h' hasn't been included yet!"
#error "Please always use macros to include FreeType header files."
#error "Example:"
#error " #include <ft2build.h>"
#error " #include FT_FREETYPE_H"
#endif
(I copied this from freetype.h)

I'm trying to get pango installed (which requires fontconfig), and gtk+2.6, ultimately to install the newest version of GAIM. Unfourtunately, I'm rather inexperienced, and I'm not sure what the problem is. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

downgrade freetype to 2.1.5 should work
(at least it always did for me)

what distro are you running? are there any binary packages for gaim?

And thanks for the help. I'll see if that works.
