[GRASSLIST:2742] Re: compiling grass and gd includes

[cmbarton]

Glynn,

Thanks for all the help you have  offered. I am still working on 
compiling grass and nearing the end of the compile script--finally. But 
I have run into a very perplexing problem. The configuration script 
looks for freetype2 (ft2build.h) and can't find it.

I have these libraries and this file. I put in the correct path to this 
file in my with-includes= and with-libs= flags. Then, I tried putting in 
a flag specifically for freetype (see below for both). It still can't 
find the file. I am beginning to suspect a problem with the configure 
script, but can't ferret it out.

Any thoughts on this?

Also, I have had to put in --without-blas and --without-lapack. What are 
these? I have had to put in --without-postgres because I have not been 
able to have a full version on my machine yet.

Another note: For anyone who is trying to compile this on a Mac OSX or 
darwin machine. I had to put a symlink in my lib directory to the GL 
libraries that come with this machine. They are deeply buried.

However, I have run into a
