I still get the following when libfreetype6-dev is installed for a foreign architecture and pkg-config happens to be installed: $ freetype-config --cflags Package freetype2 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `freetype2.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'freetype2' found Package freetype2 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `freetype2.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'freetype2' found Package freetype2 was not found in the pkg-config search path.

And I don't get the errors when libfreetype6-dev is installed for the native architecture. Helmut
