Freetype...

Linux~Powered · 03-02-2005, 10:12 AM

I installed freetype-2.1.9 because imlib2 needs the file "libttf.so". Well... after the installation of freetype there's still no libttf.so. Any ideas on how I can fix this so I can get imlib2 to build? I've tried numerous things to no success. This is my error BTW...

checking for TT_Init_FreeType in -lttf... no

ERROR: Imlib 2 needs a system with libttf.so (TrueType Font Library)

You may just need to run /sbin/ldconfig as root.

Already did that, and I ran updatedb. Any other suggestions?

Hah, I downloaded a different package, installed it and voila... it works. Go figure!
