OK, this is probably a bug in libfreetype6-dev. The problem is that libfreetype6-dev puts headers in /usr/include/freetype2/freetype when they were intended to go in /usr/include/freetype. The headers use #include <freetype/foo> to get each other. libttf-dev includes /usr/include/freetype/ stuff as well, but presumably at a different version, and gcc is finding the wrong one. The command used to compile is this: c++ -g -O2 -DHAVE_DIRENT_H=1 -DHAVE_REWINDDIR=1 -DHAVE_POPEN=1 -DHAVE_MKSTEMP=1 -DHAVE_X11_XPM_H=1 -DHAVE_T1LIB_H=1 -DHAVE_FREETYPE_FREETYPE_H=1 -DJAPANESE_SUPPORT -DCHINESE_GB_SUPPORT -DCHINESE_CNS_SUPPORT -DUSE_GZIP -DAPPDEFDIR='"/etc/X11/app-defaults"' -DFREETYPE2 -I./../goo -I./../ltk -I. -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/include -I/usr/include/freetype2 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Note this (stupid) parameter -DSYSTEM_XPDFRC=\"/etc/xpdfrc\" -c FTFont.cc Eliminating -I/usr/include from this fixes the problem at this level. I'm not sure how to modify the build system to handle this offhand, and neither am I sure that it is desireable. libfreetype6-dev should modify the headers so that they always get the correct files, IMO. This would be a case of s!#include <freetype/!#include <freetype2/freetype/!. I suggest you reassign the bug. freetype-config cannot handle this, because it does not prevent earlier -I options from overriding. -- .''`. ** Debian GNU/Linux ** | Andrew Suffield : :' : http://www.debian.org/ | Dept. of Computing, `. `' | Imperial College, `- -><- | London, UK
