I run Redhat 9. I chose Redhat because I'm a newby and it seemed the easiest to understand... I still have a lot to learn about linux... I have tried reinstalling fontconfig, freetype, KDE, and several other things, both from rpm and from source, and nothing works... I can locate the file libfontconfig.so.1, which is a symbolic link to libfontconfig.so.1.0, which is what was installed when I installed X 4.3.0... Any ideas? Thanks!
Try to run "ldconfig" as root (this will make the system take account of the newly installed libs).
Bye
