You have a lovely charming way of making the asker of a question feel like a fucking idiot, just for asking. It's an unusual talent, but you put it to good use. Long may you reign. FreeType's makefile contains "USE_XLIB= yes". It seems a bit unfortunate that I need to install X on a web server just to use FreeType. I know you're trying to help. And I appreciate it. But sometimes you assume the people you are helping actually know what you are talking about. But I haven't seen an answer to my question. Remember, most people aren't as familiar with the FreeBSD internals as you are. I'm just a dumb user (according to many). And stop cursing and smiling to yourself. > [hawk-billf] /usr/ports/print/freetype > ldd =ftdump > /usr/local/bin/ftdump: > libttf.so.4 => /usr/local/lib/libttf.so.4 (0x28066000) > libm.so.2 => /usr/lib/libm.so.2 (0x2808b000) > libSM.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6 (0x280a6000) > libICE.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6 (0x280af000) > libc.so.4 => /usr/lib/libc.so.4 (0x280c4000) > > It links with them and everything. Sorry, but the above doesn't much to me. You are assuming too much of me. -- Dan Langille [I'm looking for more work] The FreeBSD Diary - http://www.freebsddiary.org/ FreshPorts - http://freshports.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
