Thanks, Lars. I think you're right, config.log says: configure:9485: checking for FT_Init_FreeType in -lfreetype configure:9516: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 conftest.c -lfreetype >&5 ld: cannot find -lfreetype configure:9519: $? = 1 configure: failed program was: ... #provides the C that failed to compile. I can compile the test and run it, this way: $ gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -Wl,-R/usr/pkg/lib -Wl,--export-dynamic -L/usr/pkg/lib conftest.c -lfreetype $ ./conftest # no output, no complaints. > Ah, now I figured out how to tell AC_CHECK_LIB to use other > libs. Try this patch and let me know if it works: I can't use your patch because autogen.sh complains about missing automake (also installed). But one thing at a time. Let me see if I can patch configure directly.
