Damnit, I'm so close! I now have the following:
configure: WARNING: No fontconfig found, skipping tests for FreeType and Xft
configure: error: *** Didn't find any of FreeType, X11, or Win32.
*** Must have at least one backend to build Pango.
I can almost taste pango!
I have Freetype and Freetype2 installed for definate.
All of the above has helped a *lot*, especially the prefix command in configure!
Now I take it I just have to find out where Freetype's pc file is, but I'm not sure. :-\ It would've been installed when Suse was installed, so where would that be?
Btw, Hi Snellgrove.
