The builds/unix directory is there, and has the file with the proper permissions.

There is no /bin/sh directory on my machine, let alone any scripts in it. Is that the problem?

/bin/sh is actually the shell executable, not a directory; if this is really missing, that's bad. If missing, is /bin/bash also missing?

My bad. /bin/sh is there alright. I have a ~/bin folder, and somehow I must have cd'd into that when looking before.

So, no, that's not it either. Dang.

I just went to
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/freet...2?download
to get the 2.0.9 release. Safari downloaded it to my desktop, bunzip2'ed it and untar'ed it. Then I went to the terminal:

Code:

[bauer:~] keith% cd ~/Desktop/freetype-2.0.9/

[bauer:~/Desktop/freetype-2.0.9] keith% ./configure

(here it prints lots of junk)

[bauer:~/Desktop/freetype-2.0.9] keith% make

(here it prints lots more junk)

Then you can either

Code:

sudo make install

, or

Code:

cp objs/.libs/libfreetype.a ~/Desktop/

and add that file to your project.

At least you're not missing /bin/sh, that could be a bad sign...anyway, since configure is a /bin/sh script, does

Code:

cd /some/path/freetype-x.y.z/

sh configure

work?

Ok, I downloaded the file (again), and went through it. Here are my results:

Code:

[cblmdmYY-ZZZ-XX-YYY:~/Desktop] spencer% cd freetype*

[cblmdmYY-ZZZ-XX-YYY:~/Desktop/freetype-2.1.4rc2] spencer% sh configure

: command not found

configure: line 61: syntax error: unexpected end of file

[cblmdmYY-ZZZ-XX-YYY:~/Desktop/freetype-2.1.4rc2] spencer% ls

ChangeLog    Jamrules     README.UNX   descrip.mms  include      src

[cblmdmYY-ZZZ-XX-YYY:~/Desktop/freetype-2.1.4rc2] spencer% ls -l configure

[cblmdmYY-ZZZ-XX-YYY:~/Desktop/freetype-2.1.4rc2] spencer% ./configure

./configure: Command not found.

I really don't see anything done differently than what you've all suggested, but maybe I'm blind...

Use 2.0.9 rather than 2.1.4.

that's pretty weird. There must be something messed up on your system.

I'll post the static lib some where tonight for you to download.

Well, after much strangeness, here is that status:

2.1.3 and 2.1.4rc2 did not work. Doing the same things with version 2.0.9 did work. OSC, was there a reason for suggesting that over the others, or was that just good luck?

I still do not understand why I would end up with the results I did for the other versions. The errors I got back did not seem logical, IMHO.

In any case, later tonight I will try out the library and make sure I'm able to make use of it.

Thanks everyone for your time, help, and patience.

I just know that there's been a few times I've tried a later version than 2.0.9 and had problems (not, I think, the problems you've described, but it did seem like a reasonable suspicion...).

I also thought it was strange that 2.0.9 would have worked so easily for me and not at all for you.
