Thanks for the info. I renamed /usr/bin/pkg-info and installed pkg-info 
from sunfreeware.com (-->/usr/local/bin). Now the ./configure of back 
finds the correct Xft lib and back builds fine. However, I wasn't able 
to build WindowMaker (see my other mail) yet and trying to open any 
GNUstep app leads to
