Actually many distros that provide stable version for long type like Debian, RHEL, CentOS, Ubuntu LTS etc. would have the old (and working well) version of fribidi. I don't want to force them to upgrade if they don't want to. There are also some other broken stuff like fribidi-config missing (that also breaks my makefile, but this is a "small" issues) Meanwhile I added the old 0.10.x version to the sources and make static build and link till the issue would be solved or all major distros would move to recent version of fribidi. (BTW My distro still provides 0.10.x - Debian Stable) Artyom
