Mint MATE continued I have similar problems with Imlib2 - arcane dependencies. It depends on freetype6 which I already found I couldn't install due to arcane dependencies. And can't install libmozjs185, and can't configure because of it. I think the idea that freewrl can build and run anywhere there's a gcc compiler is not quite true. You have to have a linux guru / developer who can spend several hours or days hunting down dependencies and/or hacking the config. I did get direct freetype2 .gz download to build and install itself. I did ./configure and it found a few dependencies and #defined out what it couldn't find. -Doug mint@mint ~/freetype2 $ sudo apt-get install libimlib2 libimlib2-dev Reading package lists...
