I'm trying to install freetype...help?
 

Hello!

I need freetype installed to install pango, to get gtk+ going.
pango says it cant find fontconfig.pc
Am i installing freetype in the wrong directory?
Which directory should it be in?
Thanks!

Are you trying to install it from source or using a package?

I'm installing from a tar.gz package.
Just wondering if i need to ./configure --prefix=/somewhere

fontconfig.pc comes from fontconfig, doesn't it?

freetype is usually prefixed at /usr (the default) but sometimes /usr/local.


> fwiw

locate doesnt show fontconfig.pc at all
I'll try redoing freetype and check back

and how do i paste code into this box? :p

ok. libraries are in usr/local/lib, how would i link this path when installing pango?

ok, another edit, fontconfig still cant be located...
