I think I may have come up with a 9.3 problem. After trying to compile various programs (not rpms) I have come up with freetype and freetype2 problems. It may have been something I did however, I don't remember playing with freetype. Anyway check /usr/include/free* and see if you have freetype and freetype2. I do, and I have not had any problems compiling programs so far. If you do, it sounds like the program you are compiling has the problems (i.e. hard coded paths for freetype), or maybe you need to pass the path at configure. I removed /usr/include/freetype and left /usr/include/freetype2 and things seem to compile now.

Anyone see a similar problem. Prior to the removal any program calling for freetype seemed to fail to compile.

Mine has both and I have compiled quite a bit with out those kinds of problems.

My freetype is a subdirectory of /usr/include/freetype2. /usr/freetype2 has only one entry, /usr/include/freetype2/freetype.

How do you suppose /usr/include got an entry for freetype, without it being under freetype2?
