15 Thanks for your reply. I have successfully used ebuild and install 90 files.
16 Very impressed with the result.
17 I would appreciate your advice re the following:
18 media-libs/libgd-1.8.3-r1.ebuild and media-libs/libgd-1.8.3-r2.ebuild.
19 The r2 file fails as it does not have a matching digest file. The r1 file
20 fails:
21 #ebuild libgd-1.8.3-r1.ebuild merge
22 error: gdttf.c:21: freetype.h : No such file or directory.
23 Previously installed freetype-2.0.1-r1.ebuild.
24 Found: using find:
25 /usr/X11R6/include/freetype2/freetype/freetype.h
26 /usr/include/freetype2/freetype/freetype.h
27 The r1 file I think was using /usr/include/freetype/freetype.h. However
28 altering paths caused more problems.
29 libgd is a dependency of dev-lang/php-4/php-4.0.4.ebuild which is the real
30 target for me.
31 This is the only problem I have had in 90 downloads. Great stuff really.
32 Can you help? I have been to the www.boutell.com site and see that versions
33 1.8.4 and 2.0.1 beta are now available but this wont help with ebuild.
34 freetype is still at version 2.0.1.
