wine users - Aug 2008 - configure does not detect libfreetype

Greetings,

Every other lib works fine, wine compiles and works perfectly with
"--without freetype" (with the exception of fonts that look like
megablocks), but libfreetype always fails with:
> 
> checking for -lfreetype... not found
> configure: error: FreeType development files not found.

Here are my freetype libs linked to /usr/lib:
> cyrus at cyra:~/wine-1.1.2$ find ./ -name libfreetype.* -print
> ./lib32/libfreetype.so
> ./lib32/libfreetype.so.6.3.18
> ./lib32/libfreetype.so.6
> cyrus at cyra:~/wine-1.1.2$ find /usr/lib -name libfreetype.* -print
> /usr/lib/xorg/modules/fonts/libfreetype.so
> /usr/lib/libfreetype.la
> /usr/lib/libfreetype.so
> /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6.3.18
> /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6
> /usr/lib/libfreetype.a

Some other random info:

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks :D

Check the config.log. Search for that message and see what didn't work
before that line. You might be missing some extra libraries required by
freetype.
