Re: Garnome fails to build ekiga

Maximilian,

Let's peel back the onion another layer...

Run 'nm' on the GARNOME version of libfreetype.so and look for the
errant symbol.  

On my system, the symbol is found in the text section

   00017684 T FT_GlyphSlot_Embolden

>From the source code for freetype-2.1.10, this function is defined in

    freetype-2.1.10/src/base/ftsynth.c

The object file should be in

   freetype-2.1.10/obj/.libs


If the symbol is not defined in libfreetype2, the question is "why
not?".  A missing external dependency, perhaps?

If the symbol is there, I suspect a distro .la file has pulled in some
system lib that is causing mischief.
