Re: libxft2 and 0.92 compile: version problem

Thanks Soren:

You are correct.  I have run the dpkg -l command and the output is below:
	~$ dpkg -l | grep -i xft
	ii  latex-xft-fonts                           0.1-5 
              	Xft-compatible versions of some LaTeX fonts
	ii  libxft-dev                                2.1.7-1 
              	FreeType-based font drawing library for X (devel
	ii  libxft2                                   2.1.7-1 
              	FreeType-based font drawing library for X

Looks like the same versions that your post showed.  Can you compile 
from source?  I was not clear in my original post, I had run apt-get 
install libxft2 and the reply was that that package was the latest 
available.  So it would tell me the package version is ok, but compile 
does not agree.

Can anyone advize me on the solution?

Thanks,
Norm
