Install Script Problem

[nashtri]

Good evening.

I am running on Centos 4.3 (RedHat Enterprise) and when I try to start the install.sh script, the first thing I get is a message indicating that I must install libfreetype. I have checked the paths in the install script and the file that it is looking for is located on the computer, where the script thinks it should be.

[root@localhost lib]# ls -la libfreetype*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 May 15 12:38 libfreetype.so.6 -> libfreetype.so.6.3.7
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 517047 Jun 1 2005 libfreetype.so.6.3.7

I cannot progress to even complete the install with this problem. I have read through the forums and do not see anything like this. I have installed this program several times and have never seen this issue. I am sure that it is a user error but I cannot see it at the moment.

I have downloaded version 3.1.8 Premium.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

I noticed that the install script pointed to libfreetype.so and the symbolic link was libfreetype.so.6. I altered the install script and it ran fine after that.

Was libfreetype installed from a RPM package? If so, the sym links should have been setup properly with the libfreetype.so linked to the currently installed version with a major and minor number.

It was a direct install from the CD. I did not install anything past the initial install except to do a yum upgrade on the system to get the newest componentes.

We will relax the checking of libfreetype.so library to search for all such libraries with a major and minor numbers. This will be added to the next release (4.0.1) of PacsOne Server.
