[mapserver-users] font support problem

[Stephen Woodbridge]

./configure can not find your truetype font includes and/or libs. You 
need to make sure you have the truetype package installed on Linux this 
is called something like freetype2. On my debian system:

ls /usr/include/freetype2/freetype/
config        ftcid.h     ftimage.h   ftmodapi.h  ftsnames.h  ftxf86.h
freetype.h    fterrdef.h  ftincrem.h  ftmoderr.h  ftstroke.h  t1tables.h
ftbbox.h      fterrors.h  ftlcdfil.h  ftotval.h   ftsynth.h   ttnameid.h
ftbdf.h       ftgasp.h    ftlist.h    ftoutln.h   ftsystem.h  tttables.h
ftbitmap.h    ftglyph.h   ftlzw.h     ftpfr.h     fttrigon.h  tttags.h
ftcache.h     ftgxval.h   ftmac.h     ftrender.h  fttypes.h   ttunpat.h
ftchapters.h  ftgzip.h    ftmm.h      ftsizes.h   ftwinfnt.h


ls /usr/lib/libfreetype.*
/usr/lib/libfreetype.a   /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6
/usr/lib/libfreetype.la  /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6.3.18
/usr/lib/libfreetype.so
