-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I am building on a stock-ish Debian Woody system. I am running -stable. I am not upgrading any core components, but I am happy to install other items from source. (Ultimate target is koffice 1.2.90) I had to install libexpat-dev to get the headers. ./configure informed me of that lack. I have: cassidy:~# dpkg -S /usr/include/expat.h libexpat1-dev: /usr/include/expat.h cassidy:~# dpkg -s libexpat1-dev Package: libexpat1-dev Status: install ok installed Priority: optional Section: devel Installed-Size: 348 Maintainer: Ardo van Rangelrooij <ardo@debian.org> Source: expat Version: 1.95.2-6 Depends: libexpat1 (= 1.95.2-6), libc6-dev After some googling, the error looks like it might be freetype: cassidy-[/sandel/src/fontconfig-2.2.0] mcr 1109 %dpkg -S /usr/bin/freetype-config libfreetype6-dev: /usr/bin/freetype-config cassidy-[/sandel/src/fontconfig-2.2.0] mcr 1110 %dpkg -s libfreetype6-dev Package: libfreetype6-dev Status: install ok installed Priority: optional Section: devel Installed-Size: 2728 Maintainer: Anthony Fok <foka@debian.org> Source: freetype Version: 2.0.9-1 Replaces: freetype0-dev, freetype1-dev Depends: libfreetype6 (= 2.0.9-1), libc6-dev | libc-dev which I''m guessing is not new enough. I suggest upgrading the test in configure.in.... I installed 2.1.4 from www.freetype.org and all went well. That should be listed as a requirement in README/INSTALL.
