Next try. I read about a lot of successful installations and therefore a lot of people wrote back to me complaining about the lack of informations about the 'system' and configuration I use. One machine is a FRESHLY installed system - and XFree86-4.2 fails compiling in freetype2! And therefore: no chance to get an installation running. On another system I deinstalled only XFree86 and older freetype2 stuff remained and for those remains in /usr/local/include/freetype2 the installation works fine. But the new install-path of freetype seems to be /usr/X11R6/include/freetype2 but port XFree86-4-libraries searches in the old path! I guess everyone who talks about a 'successful' installation installed with the older freetype libs and install-paths (see error log at the end ...). On one of our servers I can find freetype2 previous to 2.0.9 at the location "/usr/X11R6" and this installation was done two or three weeks ago with the older XFree86-4.1.X_13 port. On this machine the installation of the new XFree86 port fails also. In summary: XFree86 fails on fresh installed systems AND on those I deinstalled XFree86 and freetype2 via pkg_delete due to the fact freetype2 does not install properly (compilation is all right, but install routine messes up with make and gmake!). Installing freetype2 by hand in /usr/X11R6/ fails also, XFree86 port expects freetype includes at /usr/local. What the hell should I also do and examine to show that there is a problem not related to our system's configuration? -- MfG O.
