very newbie

If there are different stages of "newbie", I'm at the lowest level.

Just installed Ubuntu server, MySql (although it probably doesn't work, since I can't reach it from my Windows machine on port 3306). Anyhow,
I've downloaded and unzipped the .gz-file, but when running ./install.sh it says "libfreetype package is required but not installed." I went to freetype.org, downloaded and installed freetype 2.6 (as suggested in the INSTALL.UNIX-file), but when returning to pacsone setup I still get the "libfreetype package is required but not installed."-message. I think I need some help:roll:

The Linux Installer is looking for the following FreeType library:

/usr/lib/libfreetype.so* (for 32-bit OS platforms)

or

/usr/lib64/libfreetype.so* (for 64-bit OS platforms)

So if your Linux distribution is installing the FreeType library somewhere else, you'll need to create a symbolic link in the above directory (depending on whether your OS platform is 32 or 64-bit) which links to the physical location where the "libfreetype.so" is located.
