[אריאל סגל]

Hi,

I have joined now to mailing list because I have problem to build freetye. 

I have downloaded freetype 2.3.11

I have an error at the configure stage, it did not produce a makefile.

you can find the error in the log I attach.

The system I use:

address@hidden:~/nowcom$ uname --all

Linux segal 2.6.31-16-generic #53-Ubuntu SMP Tue Dec 8 04:01:29 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

My attempt to build freetype:

address@hidden:~/nowcom$ cd freetype-2.3.11/

address@hidden:~/nowcom/freetype-2.3.11$ cd builds/unix/

address@hidden:~/nowcom/freetype-2.3.11/builds/unix$ ./configure
