More on: libcairo.so: undefined reference to `FT_GlyphSlot_Embolden'

["Peter" <sw98234 hotmail com>]

On my test system: Slackware 11, garnome 2.16.0, the following error
continues to occur with desktop/ekiga.

reference to `FT_GlyphSlot_Embolden'

Now, both freetype and cairo are provided by garnome:

root mars:/opt/gnome/2.16.0/lib# objdump -t libfreetype.so |grep FT_GlyphSlot
00012c10 g     F .text  0000016e              FT_GlyphSlot_Embolden
00012bb0 g     F .text  0000005e              FT_GlyphSlot_Oblique

root mars:/opt/gnome/2.16.0/lib# objdump -t libcairo.so |grep FT_GlyphSlot
00000000       F *UND*  0000016e              FT_GlyphSlot_Embolden

I tried remaking cairo thinkng perhaps it was compiled before freetype2.

>From the cairo configure:

configure: creating src/cairo-ft.pc
checking for FT_Bitmap_Size.y_ppem... yes
checking for FT_GlyphSlot_Embolden... yes
checking for FT_Load_Sfnt_Table... yes

Cairo makes and installs fine. Then, I go back to ekiga to recompile, yet
the same error. Looking again at the cairo library:

root mars:/opt/gnome/2.16.0/lib# objdump -t libcairo.so |grep FT_Glyph
00000000       F *UND*  0000016e              FT_GlyphSlot_Embolden

        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)

At first, I thought this was a Slackware thing, but as you can see, most
libraries are coming from the garnome suite.

Is it possible that the order of library lookups might be incorrect,
because I know Slackware does not define that symbol in cairo or freetype.

Good luck!
