Hi again...

        This time I must request a different sort of help.  I'm trying to install
fluxbox on an old laptop.

chiana root # uname -a
Linux chiana 2.4.20-gentoo-r7 #1 Sat Sep 20 21:06:09 EDT 2003 i586 Pentium 
75 - 200 GenuineIntel GNU/Linux 

        This is my setup:  1.2G root partition; /usr/portage is shared by NFS
from my desktop machine (rw) as is /var/tmp/portage.  My desktop PC is a
dual-P3, so I'm running distcc to help speed compiling along.  The laptop 
was installed from a Stage 3 tarball (09112003) last week, and just 
completed a 20-hour install of Xfree86 today.
        Now I have tried 3 times to build fluxbox.  I've cleaned out 
/var/tmp/portage so that there's nothing left in there.  Yet:

libtool: link: cannot find the library 
`/var/tmp/portage/freetype-2.1.4/image//usr/lib/libfreetype.la'
make[3]: *** [fluxbox] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory 
`/var/tmp/portage/fluxbox-0.1.14-r2/work/fluxbox-0.1.14/src'
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory 
`/var/tmp/portage/fluxbox-0.1.14-r2/work/fluxbox-0.1.14/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory 
`/var/tmp/portage/fluxbox-0.1.14-r2/work/fluxbox-0.1.14'
make: *** [all] Error 2

!!! ERROR: x11-wm/fluxbox-0.1.14-r2 failed.
!!! Function commonbox_src_compile, Line 114, Exitcode 2
!!! (no error message)

        I've attached the entire output of the third attempt, which I finally 
remembered to capture with "script".  I was bothered at the very 
beginning by messages such as this:

aclocal: configure.in: 226: macro `AM_PATH_XFT' not found in library

--help' for more information
configure: WARNING: `missing' script is too old or missing

        Both automake and libtool are at current stable versions, and I am *NOT* 
running any "~x86" packages.

        Any ideas about what I could do to fix this?  This is the *only* package 
that has failed so far.
