Installing FreeType on fedora

Post by GeXus »

I have GD installed, but not FreeType... would anyone be able to tell me how to install FreeType from SSH?

Also, just to make sure.. I am checking phpinfo, and FreeType is not listed under GD, which I believe it should be if installed.

Thanks!

I actually do have libfreetype in /usr/lib, not sure if that means its installed.. bottom line is that functions which require freetype are not recognized.
