Re: fontconfig and /lib64 (FC6 64) +garnome-2.17.92

Justin,

Thanks for the reply.  Building GARNOME on a 64-bit system often has
library path issues.  By building ./bootstrap/expat as a dependency for
fontconfig, you have insured that the GARNOME build will use that
version of expat.

You should take another look at the configuration choices in
gar.conf.mk. You may be able to tweak LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
