Hi,

I've searched the forums to try to resolve this problem but haven't actually found any advice other than someone compiling the package manually...which is something i'd like to avoid if possible. In my quest to upgrade to Gnome 2.14 I've hit a snag with the vte-0.12.0 package.

Code:
checking for freetype-config... /usr/bin/freetype-config
checking for FreeType - version >= 6.1.0... no
*** The FreeType test program failed to run.  If your system uses
*** shared libraries and they are installed outside the normal
*** system library path, make sure the variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH
*** (or whatever is appropiate for your system) is correctly set.
configure: error: You must have freetype 2.0.2 or later to build vte.


I've hit google and trawled the gentoo forums, and I'm running the latest version of freetype, but haven't found a way to fix this as yet. I'm at work so I figured i'd post this and see if I get a quick answer before I have to spend my evening learning about freetype :roll:

Thanks for replying :D

I don't have any of the mesa packages installed. Any other suggestions?

I found out which program was crashing (complaining about wrong shared libraries) looking at the installation log. In my case: /var/tmp/portage/vte-0.12.0/work/vte-0.12.0/config.log

I found out (with equery) the wrong library belonged to mesa-glu and that that package does not exist anymore and that library is now provided directly by xorg-x11.

I don't have mesa-glu too.

But... in my case the library that cause problem is libGl.so.1. (Thanks Krieg for the config.log info :) )

To solve the problem I've unmerged mesa files displayed by the command 'equery b libGL.so.1' and glu.
Code:
# equery b libGL.so.1
[ Searching for file(s) libGL.so.1 in *... ]
    - media-libs/mesa-6.4.2-r2 (...)
    - media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.8756 (...)

# emerge -Ca mesa glu


Then, before re-emerging vte, be sure that you can launch this command:
Code:
# eselect opengl


If you've error message: (topic: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-434257.html)
Code:

# emerge -uav sed
# ln -s /bin/sed /usr/bin/sed


Finally, emerge vte and enjoy ;)
Code:

# emerge -uav vte


Best Regards

nonos: That's the fix dude.

I managed to work out it was libGL.so.1, again thanks Krieg's posting and some free time at work, but didn't really get any further than seeing the failure point. You've just saved my a lot of time.

Thanks for the help guys.

It seems that it isn't solved for me...
I get this error compiling vte
Code:

checking for VTE... yes
checking for freetype-config... /usr/bin/freetype-config
checking for FreeType - version >= 6.1.0... no
*** The FreeType test program failed to run.  If your system uses
*** shared libraries and they are installed outside the normal
*** system library path, make sure the variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH
*** (or whatever is appropiate for your system) is correctly set.
configure: error: You must have freetype 2.0.2 or later to build vte.

!!! Please attach the following file when filing a report to bugs.gentoo.org:
!!! /var/tmp/portage/vte-0.14.1/work/vte-0.14.1/config.log

The ideas suggested didn't work for me!
I can't emerge vte... so I can't go on in compiling gnome 8O

I fixed the problem by adding:
x11-libs/vte* -opengl
to /etc/portage/package.use

--- scratch that

somehow during the emerge world the nvidia install got f'd. I reinstalled the nvidia drivers and things went smoothly.

I am getting this error now. I tried the above with removing the 'glu' and 'mesa' and it puts them back in. I see the way to do it with adding the '-opengl' USE flag. Is there a way to fix this without added that? Or if I just add that flag to just 'vte' will it affect OpenGL for the whole system or just certain things?

I don't have nvidia. It's a Laptop and I have the Intel i810 chipset graphics.
