Hello Christopher, Saturday, November 2, 2002, 3:59:21 PM, you textually orated:

I believe your problem may be this... RedHat had modified much of the source code to QT and KDE in order to support Xft2 instead of Xft1. So the QT included with RH 8.0 has been modified to work with Xft2 whereas the original qt-3.0.x will only work with Xft1. Since Xft2 doesn't use the file XftFreetype.h you are getting an error. Basically version 1 and version 2 of Xft are completely incompatible. So you have a few choices. 1. Don't worry about it and use what came with RH8. If you have bugs, report them to RedHat's Bugzilla to try to get them fixed. 2. Port the patches RedHat put in to 3.0.5 to the 3.0.6 that you want to use and compile that. 3. I _think_ that qt-3.1 is supposed to include Xft2 support. So grab the beta or wait for the official release of that version. I don't know that any of these will be particularly appealing, but I believe that they are all you may have. YMMV. Hope that helps. Have fun, -- _________________________________________________________________ Brian Ashe CTO [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dee-Web Software Services, LLC. http://www.dee-web.com/ ----------------------------------------------------------------- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@;redhat.com?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
