i go to install an RPM (which one not important) that requires freetype 2.1.9.. again not a problem.... But RPM comes back with missing libfreetype.so.6 ... i have reinstalled from the RPM on disc as well as installed from source....

Basic Info---------------------------------------------------

[root@JohnnyQuest ~]uname -r
2.6.9-1.681_FC3

[root@JohnnyQuest ~]rpm -qa | grep freetype
freetype-devel-2.1.9-1
freetype-2.1.9-1

[root@JohnnyQuest ~]locate libfreetype.so.6
/lib/libfreetype.so.6
/usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6
/usr/local/lib/libfreetype.so.6

Attempted fix:
[root@JohnnyQuest ~]ldconfig -v

[root@JohnnyQuest ~]cd /usr/lib; ldd libfreetype.so.6
libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x00c79000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x00a4c000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00a33000)



see I got the files .... that's what makes this soooooo freakin annoying

OK I'm starting to think Fedora Core 3 has more mental baggage than joan
