I've got some more info on the installation of gimp:
# cd /usr/ports/graphics/gimp
# make configure
[...]
checking for freetype-config... \
/usr/local/bin/freetype-config
checking for freetype libraries... \
-L/usr/local/lib -lfreetype -lz
[...]
# /usr/local/bin/freetype-config --version
9.5.3
# ls -l /usr/local/lib/*free*
[...]/usr/local/lib/libfreetype.a
[...]/usr/local/lib/libfreetype.so -> libfreetype.so.9
[...]/usr/local/lib/libfreetype.so.9
All that freetype2 stuff is recent, from 2.1.7_4.
There should be no reason why gimp complains that
2.1.4 is still installed.
Something seems to have been messed up here.
I have some suspicion about recent upgrade of
freetype 2.1.7. But what is it?
Rob.
