Interfacing with FTGL on Fedora 11 about gource HOT 11 CLOSED

Thanks.

You might be able to build FTGL with ./configure --prefix=/usr, though that is 
only a
guess.

i'm on CentOS 5.4, got same problem with FTGL 2.1.2
removed it and compiled 2.1.3~rc5
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ftgl/files/FTGL%20Source/2.1.3%7Erc5/ftgl-2.1.3-
rc5.tar.gz/download

and it did install it into /usr/local/ but ./configure still unable to find it,
anyone got ideas?

Did you try telling configure to install FTGL under /usr instead of /usr/local?

yes with --prefix=/usr like you said.

 ./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64
fix the problem.
for CentOS 5.4 and i guess Fedora if 64bit system.

i just tried to compile this on Fedora with the same setting
-----------

You probably need to install the ftgl dev package.

yes, how stupid of me :) well i can confirm it compiles on fedora 12 with the 
disro 
packages

On centos 5.5 I was able to compile gource using ftgl 2.1.3 from atrpms and the 
rest from the standard distro.

fwiw, gource is already available in fedora since f-12.
