libAfterImage installing problem; freetype

ROOT

Dear ROOT-team,

I try to install the HEAD version from svn on my ubuntu (Karmic) laptop. I try with

./configure
make

… but I get this error message (I took out the interesting part of it):

==> lib/libMemStat.so done
*** Building libAfterImage ...

I looked with locate where the missing ftheader.h file can be found:

/usr/include/freetype2/freetype/config/ftheader.h

Have you seen this error before? What’s your recommendation of how to proceed?

cheers,
Peter

In fact disabling asimage (./configure --disable-asimage) helps for installing, but then I’m left without the ability to draw plots

Hi,

I could solve the issue by adding the following link in my directory structure:

sudo ln -s /usr/include/freetype2/freetype /usr/include/freetype

cheers,
