I think you may have hit the same bug I am struggling with and would value advice on.

If you have fontforge installed in /usr (so you have things in /usr/lib like libgutils.so and the like), when you come to make install fontforge, it will happily build the libgutils library first and install it where it should (/usr/local/lib), the linker command will insert -L /usr/local/lib and then have -lgutils, and then gcc will merrily give precedence to your copy in /usr/lib, which is missing all kinds of stuff because your build is so much newer and shinier than the old thing you installed aeons ago. The offending -lgutils comes from the (in my case) libgdraw.la.

Any advice anyone on how to resolve this one.

It doesn't affect debian building, because that is always built on a clean machine with no lingering old fontforge libraries kicking around.

Also, if you pull the latest code from github you should find a nice debian/ in there with a rules file that works well for me. I also have a ppa (launchpad/martin-hosken/fontdev) with builds for precise (and seemingly out of date copies for raring and saucy).

HTH,

Martin
