While compiling Control Center-2.14.2, I got the following error message: ******************************************************************************** checking for FONT_METHOD... yes checking for FONT_THUMBNAILER... yes checking for FONT_CONTEXT_MENU... yes checking for FONT_VIEW... configure: error: Package requirements (gnome-vfs-2.0 >= 2.0.0 xft >= 2.1.2 gtk+-2.0 >= 2.8.12 libgnomeui-2.0 >= 2.2.0) were not met:
Requested 'xft >= 2.1.2' but version of Xft is 2.1.0 Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables FONT_VIEW_CFLAGS and FONT_VIEW_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details. ******************************************************************************** To my knowledge I never compiled xft myself. Also xft was not mentioned in either the Required or Optional dependencies of Control Center. I googled for xft to find out if I could install it directly. But I understand that it is not wise to install anything not recommended in LFS/BLFS. So how do I proceed now?
