Re: Need help compiling freetype demos

Thanks for the help!  re-cloning and hiding libpng in a directory inside of /usr/local worked.

Thanks.  However, after some thinking I believe that the meson version
shouldn't make a difference, given that the linker arguments are so
similar.

It may be an incompatibility between libraries.  Craig, please try to
either self-compile 'libcairo', to be installed into `/usr/local/`, or
remove 'libpng' from `/usr/local` so that the version in `/usr` gets
used.
