Okay,

I re-read and followed :) the instructions given by Peter and Ken.
I re-installed freetype2-1.9 (prior to trying to build xorg)

I got the same freetype errors as in my previous post.

I am out of ideas, and I really don't want to start from scratch again if I 
don't have too.  This is my third attempt at a build of BLFS (my first two 
also stalled in this exact spot, but I didn't ask for help then,  I just 
scrapped them and started completely over from page 1 of LFS).

This is a new machine that  I built myself and the crowning achievement would 
be to have LFS/BLFS up and running (my distro, my rules kind of thing).

I am hoping that I didn't make a mistake in configuring and installing this 
system.  I have not deviated from the book at all (except for the raw kernel 
thing that I corrected) and everything up to now has built without error or 
warning.  Here is the error again:

../../../../config/makedepend/makedepend: warning:  psout.c 
(reading ../../../../extras/freetype2/include/freetype/config/ftconfig.h), 
line 82: #error "Unsupported size of `int' type!"
../../../../config/makedepend/makedepend: warning:  psout.c 
(reading ../../../../extras/freetype2/include/freetype/config/ftconfig.h), 
line 91: #error "Unsupported size of `long' type!"

make[1]: *** [depend] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/blfs-sources/xcbuild'
make: *** [World] Error 2

I also have been building this thing as root, not as user and then switching 
to root to 'make install'.  Could this be one of my problems?  I am no Linux 
guru and have only been using Linux for 1 year.  There has got to be 
something I can do short of scrapping the whole thing and starting over 
again.

Would I have these same issues in trying to install XFree86-4.4.0?

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.
