but wait . . . he said, replying to his own message. I found this page: http://www.vectorlinux.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2871&sid=8511ebb8e725982cd47d2106049897bd
which says in part: I am running freetype-2.1.7, as was installed with the Xorg packages. Symlinks were correct, as you specified. I was having no problems at all until I attempted to compile the Gimp-2.0.2, and at that point I made what I believe is a correction to the freetype.h file (I moved #include <ft2build.h> before #ifndef FT_FREETYPE_H) I am not a C programmer, so the logic I used may be errent... but it is the only thing I changed, and I was then able to compile the Gimp. (I did not reboot, ldconfig, anything.) about the same error message. I did: emerge -C freetype and removed both instances of freetype then emerge freetype to install the latest then I edited freetype.h as this user did and it seems to be working. I was also unable to upgrade gtk+ and turns out I was having the exact same error compiling that. I just emerged gtk+ with no problem, and am currently working on Firefox. Only three more problems to solve, and I'll be happy. Until the next time I break it anyhow....
