Problem with SDL_ttf automake

I’m having trouble compiling the SDL_ttf package. I have installed the freetype
rpms, and all of the necessary files are around, but automake fails on
checking for TT_Init_FreeType in -lttf… (cached) no
configure: error:
*** Unable to find FreeType library (http://www.freetype.org/)

but … /usr/lib/libttf.so.2 exits and a grep indicates that it contains the
TT_Init_FreeType function.

So … I assume that the problem is something with my local version of automake
or the default directories it looks in.
If it helps, I’m running RedHat 6.2.

Thanks,

Loren Frank

Has ldconfig been run (as root) since the freetype libraries were
installed? If not then the autoconf test program would probably fail.
You can look at the end of the config.log file that is created when you
run ./configure for SDL_ttf to get the real error messageOn Sun, 27 May 2001, Loren Frank wrote:

Hum you need freetype for SDL_ttf and not freetype2.> On Sun, 27 May 2001, Loren Frank wrote:

Just wanted to say thanks for the responses and to mention again that I had to
delete the config.cache file.
