I've installed mapserver a few times and this problem seems to be a hit and
miss for me.  I've gone through the archives and haven't found the answer
yet.

I'm getting an error message - DrawMap: MapServer TrueType Font Error: libgd
was not built with FreeType font support


My system,

OS linux Gentoo 2004.2
 i used emerge for - apache-1.0.52, gd-2.0.18, freetype-2.1.5
 i'm using mapserver-4.4.0-beta1

typing 'gdlib-config --features' returns,
        GD_JPEG GD_FREETYPE GD_PNG GD_GIF

php was configured with,
--with-regex=ssytem --with-pgsql --with-gd --with-dbase --with-xml --with-zlib
-- enable-force-cgi-redirect

mapserver was configured with,
--with-zlib --with-gd --with-png --with-proj=/usr/local
--with-ogr=/usr/local/bin/gdal-config --with-gdal=/usr/local/bin/gdal-config
--with-postgis=/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_config --with-wms --with-wmsclient
--with-wfs --with-wfsclient --with-php=/usr/local/src/php-4.3.9

phpinfo() shows,
