In the freetype.spec file I made this line: %configure --disable-static look like this: %configure --disable-static --disable-rpath I got the same error as before when I tried to compile it. I then added the following two lines immediately after the configure line, so it looks like this: %configure --disable-static sed -i 's|^hardcode_libdir_flag_spec=.*|hardcode_libdir_flag_spec=""|g' libtool sed -i 's|^runpath_var=LD_RUN_PATH|runpath_var=DIE_RPATH_DIE|g' libtool That didn't work either -- I got an error telling me that it can't find libtool, and that was it. The frustrating part of this is that I have found some webpages that discuss how to recompile exactly this srpm and it apparently works for them. Example here: http://n8wood.wordpress.com/2009/08/18/tight-anti-aliased-fonts-in-centosrhel/ I don't see what I am doing wrong, or why this isn't working for me. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com
