[ft] freetype-1.3.1 compile error

[filippo Lombardo]

Hi everyone on the list,

 

 

 

I'm trying to compile freetype-1.3.1.tar.gz on my linux box.

At the configure time I got such messages:

 

......................

checking for libintl.h... (cached) yes

checking for gettext in -lintl... (cached) no

checking for msgfmt... (cached) /usr/local/bin/msgfmt

checking for dcgettext... (cached) yes

checking for gmsgfmt... (cached) /usr/local/bin/msgfmt

checking for xgettext... (cached) /usr/local/bin/xgettext

checking for msgmerge... (cached) /usr/local/bin/msgmerge

found xgettext program is not GNU xgettext; ignore it

.........................

.........................

I guess this is right:

 

creating ./config.status

creating Makefile

creating MakeSub

creating lib/arch/unix/Makefile

creating test/arch/unix/Makefile

creating po/Makefile.in

creating ft_conf.h

ft_conf.h is unchanged

 

 

 

But then I get these:

 

xgettext not available: freetype.pot not updated

...................

...................

/usr/local/bin/msgfmt: error while loading shared libraries: libiconv.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory ( ** )

make[1]: *** [de.gmo] Error 127

make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/GTK+/freetype-1.3.1/po'

make: *** [ttpo] Error 2

address@hidden freetype-1.3.1]#

 

 

 

I have googled all around and found nothing, then I made a search with this list's engine, but found only two documents when I put in the message: "xgettext not available: freetype.pot not updated"

I found 20 documents when I put the error message marked with ( ** ) but none was useful to me.

 

I guess the version of gettext I installed is not the right one,although I believed it was, or maybe I missed something in the installation.

I installed gettext-0.14.5.tar.gz and libiconv-1.9.2.tar.gz

I made a "find / -iname 'libiconv.so.2 -print" and found nothing; I made this just to be sure of its absence.

I have GNU make version 3.79.1

 

Can someone give me a hint ?

I'll go on searching anyway, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

 

Thanks for your attention
