Yes, I found that now, too. Independent from that problem now, I think the configure script should check a couple more things (like which version of freetype2 or the gcc version), that makes the thing a whole lot easier. I looked at first at the System Requirements page under http://web2.altmuehlnet.de/fschmid/sysreq.html and there is nothing about the GCC version - it's only a recommendation, but what means 'strongly recommended'? Eather I need it, or I don't, but 'strongly recommended' doesn't say anything. > > Hope that helps, > > Peter Philipp
