freetype error for curved label

[Yves Jacolin]

Hi, always me ;-)

I try to build GD release, try other things but I can't use curved Label. Here 
the config part for GD :
"configure: checking for GD 2.0.16 or higher...
checking for gdFontCacheSetup in -lgd... yes
        using libgd 2.0.16 (or higher) from -L/usr//lib -lgd -ljpeg -lfreetype 
-lpng -lz -L/usr/X11R6/lib/ -lXpm -lX11
checking for gdImageGif in -lc... yes
checking for gdImagePng in -lc... yes
checking for gdImageJpeg in -lc... yes
checking for gdImageWBMP in -lc... yes
checking for gdImageStringFT in -lc... yes
checking for gdImageOpenPolygon in -lc... yes
checking for gdImageGifPtr in -lc... yes
checking for gdFontGetTiny in -lc... yes
        using GD ( -DUSE_GD_GIF -DUSE_GD_PNG -DUSE_GD_JPEG -DUSE_GD_WBMP 
-DUSE_GD_FT -DGD_HAS_FTEX_XSHOW -DGD_HAS_GDIMAGEGIFPTR 
-DGD_HAS_GETBITMAPFONTS) from /usr/.
"
gdImageOpenPolygon  was found!
Any tips ?
