If it works, you're probably done, but, for the sake of completeness, what do you get from: $ ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype* -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 348476 Jan 21 07:27 /usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.6.3.dylib lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 21 Aug 14 2008 /usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib -> libfreetype.6.3.dylib -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 831260 Mar 23 2007 /usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.a lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 21 Aug 14 2008 /usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.dylib -> libfreetype.6.3.dylib This is the traditional *nix convention: the real lib is libfreetype.6.3.dylib (major an minor version specified) The other ones are links to it. I suspect that you where missing the libfreetype.6.dylib link before, and that you may now have a full lib there, rather than a link. Which probably is fine, but not quite standard. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception chris.bar...@noaa.gov ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The NEW KODAK i700 Series Scanners deliver under ANY circumstances!
