[Ltib] Problems installing the Fontconfig package

[Douglas Peterson]

First I encountered the error that the Freetype package was not installed. 
According to Stuart Hughes 
(http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/ltib/2010-12/msg00127.html) this is because 
the "package checks" leak out to the host. The solution was to install 
libfreetype6-dev on the host.
 
Then I encounted this error: libfreetype.so: could not read symbols: File in 
wrong format.
 
I added
 --with-freetype-config=”$DEV_IMAGE/usr/bin/freetype-config 
–prefix=$DEV_IMAGE/usr”

to the ./configure line found in "ltib/dist/lfs-5.1/fontconfig/fontconfig.spec" 
as suggested by frogman 
(http://forums.freescale.com/t5/i-MX-Microprocessors/Ltib-link-error-with-fontconfig-on-Ubuntu-host/m-p/80853/highlight/false#M3409).
 
Now I have the error: freetype/config/ftheader.h: No such file or directory.
 
Looking closely at the error message:

You can see in the compiler command-line that 
-I/home/build/ltib/rootfs/usr/include/freetype2 is added and from that 
directory freetype/config/ftheader.h does exist. 

I have deleted the ltib/rpm/BUILD/fontconfig-2.4.2 directory prior to compiling 
each time I try to build it.
 
I don't know where to go from here to fix this.
