Hello, I'm trying to install the "freetype font setting library" and I have the next issue.
When I run the configure script after extracting the files of the .tar.gz file, I have the next messages:
awk: symbol lookup error: awk: undefined symbol: mpfr_z_sub
awk: symbol lookup error: awk: undefined symbol: mpfr_z_sub
Generating `Makefile'
/home/user/Downloads/Altera/freetype-2.7/Makefile:7: *** Too many open files. Stop.
Then if I try to run this command: "make -j8", to execute de Makefile once again I have the message:
/home/user/Downloads/Altera/freetype-2.7/Makefile:7: *** Too many open files. Stop.
I need a file named ".libs" that should appear in the ."../objs/" directory after running the configure and making scripts.
I'm trying to install a software, here I found the reason of why I need the freetype files.
I'm using Ubuntu 16.04, by the way.
Can you give me some insight of why I'm having this messages and how can I solve them, in order to generate the .libs file or directory.
Best regards,
Reinaldo Castro
