Just as well, because gd2 was looking for freetype2 stuff from X11, c.f. the line ./configure --prefix=/sw --with-freetype=/usr/X11R6 > > It seemed like it couldn't find the X11 include files (line 308, > error2.txt). What?!? So I decided to ask and look for help online.

Not necessarily. Fink doesn't need such a link, and you may have a /sw/include/X11 already (I do) for some other package. > > Some other suggestions were to try "apt-get install" since those are > usually used for binaries.

Do you in fact have /usr/X11R6/include/freetype/freetype2/freetype.h ? (or for that matter, any of /usr/X11R6/include?) Apple's installer has been known to miss files. As for the binary installation, you've got some half-installed packages. Removing t1lib5-nox-shlibs and replacing it with t1lib5-shlibs (I'm not sure right off the top of my head why they don't auto-replace one another, but there may be a reason) may let you do the "apt-get -f install" and clean up. -- Alexander K.
