Trouble compiling kde 3.1... please help

[bgzee]

Ok, heres the story. I installed redhat 8 without xfree or a desktop manager. I compiled xfree86 and now am trying to compile kde. I get this error during compile:

/usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1 : Undefined reference to 'FT_Get_next_char'

Collect2: ld returned 1 exit status


Any ideas?

try
fontconfig 2.1

i think it and qt3.1 are better friends

yes, the version of fontconfig you have seems ok to the configure program, but must be missing a library. also I've read in several articles in linuxtoday that red-hat has changed some libraries and altough you may have the latest, it may not be exactly the same as the rest of the distributions have. try recompiling it but do not replace the one you have just in case (if that is an option)
