On my machine, freetype2 is in a non-standard location. (Also, this freetype2 directory prefix business is a mess.) pkg-config may help find it. The attached patch makes configure try pkg-config first, then reverts to the previous method. Will apply Wednesday or so if nobody objects. 2007-08-27 Mike Sperber <mike(a)xemacs.org&gt; * configure.ac: Try to use pkg-config for finding Xft includes and libraries.
