Different architecture, similar situation: On MacOSX/Fink, the standard freetype-config would be in /usr/X11R6/bin, but with Apple's X11 this is too old for scribus to work: % freetype-config --version 9.0.3 We have a slightly more recent one in /sw/lib/freetype2: % /sw/lib/freetype2/bin/freetype-config --version 9.2.3 With this one, scribus works, but in order to have configure see and use it, I have to jump through some hoops: I have to export PATH=/sw/lib/freetype2/bin:$PATH before running configure (this seems normal), but then I have to patch configure so that instead of FREETYPE_CONFIG="" it has FREETYPE_CONFIG="/sw/lib/freetype2/bin/freetype-config" and instead of LIBS="-lfreetype it has LIBS="$LIBFREETYPE_LIBS Without this help, configure never finds the right freetype2. -- Martin
