I'm sure I've seen this recently; we've recently moved towards mandating
use of gcc 3.2(.1)+, rather than gcc2.9x, and with that moved towards
more standard includes. This should be a simple fix, but I don't recall
the file that gave the warning; do you know the one?

This sounds very similar to another problem with omniorb that was fixed
in the final v4.0 release. You are using the most recent released
version, just in case this makes a difference?

This gives lots of FTFont stuff, which I understand is related to
freetype - please check you have the most recent required version. Hmm,
the web-site says just '>=2.0', which I don't think is quite accurate.
configure seems to require	'>=9.2.3'; perhaps this needs to be updated.
Nick?

If it helps keep Fresco running on FreeBSD... :)

AFAIR: Munish Chopra, plfiorini contributed.
Also, see http://issues.fresco.org/task63 for updates, or contribute
there :)
If your issues are BSD-specific, I defer to those master-port'ers to
correct me...

Any testing on R4.8 would be useful too, if it can be made to work
there, but you probably got my last message about that ;)

Thanks for giving it a go,
