I could not get pdf2swf to install on a fully patched registered version
of RHEL5. However, on an unpatched, fresh install of RHEL5 I was able to
get pdf2swf installed with no trouble.
This was my experience installing swftools-0.8.1. This is the error which
prevented pdf2swf from being installed
from the config.log

See `config.log' for more details.
I don't know but I suspect it's the compiler? (maybe one of the standard
libraries?)

I had first installed the versions of freetype-devel from the disks then
installed the source version. configure did not complain about missing
freetype. On the unpatched RHEL5 install I did not install freetype-devel
from the disks.
