Fontconfig - Nov 2005 - problems trying to compile on Solaris 9

Hi Micah,

Just to follow up with what Alan said.

Definately check the config.log.  I would probably guess that you got
an undefined symbol error.  So you might need to edit the ./configure
script to link in that library.  (It might be X11 that needs to be
linked!)

Of course that is all guessing on my part.  :-)

config.log should show you the way...

Does config.log provide any more useful errors?  Did you run config with
LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib -R/usr/local/lib"  (or whatever path you
installed expat under) ?

Hi all-

I''m trying to compile and install fontconfig 2.2.0 on my Solaris 9 
system, but I am running into an error during ./configure.

checking for freetype-config... /usr/local/bin/freetype-config
checking for FT_Get_First_Char... yes
checking for expat.h... yes
checking for XML_ParserCreate... no
configure: error: cannot find expat library

I searched through the mail archives and found a similar problem and I 
know that I installed expat, right before I tried to ./configure.

I also checked expat.h and found an instance of XML_ParserCreate, so I 
don''t know what the configure script is complaining for.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
