Problem compiling gtk+=2.4.0 `ft2build.h' hasn't been included yet!

["bob.snyder" <bob snyder cox net>]

I am trying to build gtk 2.4.0 on an what once was a Slackware 8 system.

I have installed atk-1.6.0, glib-2.4.0, pango-1.4.0, and freetype-2.1.7.

I am getting the following error. I expect this may have something to do with the fact that older 
versions of some of these things were in installed in /usr/X11/.... rather than in /usr/local/... 
which is where I have installed all the new ones. I had some problems with pango and freetype2 but 
all are cleanly installed now. /usr/X11R6/include/freetype2 is a symlink to 
/usr/local/include/freetype2.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
