libfreetype.so.6Forum: myDSL Extensions (deprecated) Topic: libfreetype.so.6 started by: ke4nt1 Posted by ke4nt1 on Dec. 03 2004,06:53
In squeezing firefox into the new 0.9.0 , some items were removed.One lib, libfreetype.so.6, is no longer included, as none of the stock apps require it. Incoming reports show gaim-1.0.0.dsl and xine.dsl in need of libfreetype. I have rebuilt these to include the missing lib .. redownload recommended. If you have a HDinstalled DSL, you can add the two libs manually from any earlier version of DSL. They are located in /KNOPPIX/usr/lib .. they are titled libfreetype.so.6 <-- symlink libfreetype.so.6.3.4 <-- the actual lib needed. Copy these two files into your /usr/lib directory as root, From either a root shell, or from "emelfm as super user" If you come across the missing libfreetype error, please note the extension name it in this thread, and I will rebuild the extension to include it promptly. 73 ke4nt Posted by christosvas on Dec. 03 2004,11:04

I am an absolute newbie in Linux, and I must say that of all the several LiveCD's I have tried, DSL is the easiest for me to handle.I got a message from Skype, admittedly not a base app, that it, too, is missing the libfreetype.so.6 file. Also, am I right that, if the file is included in the ISO download, one would have to download the whole image again and re-burn it on CD ? Thanks. Posted by ke4nt1 on Dec. 03 2004,22:49
I'm not quite sure what your pointing to....The skype extension will be fixed shortly, so there is no need to redownload any .iso images. Only the skype will need to be redownloaded after it is repaired and reposted.. Thanks for the heads-up .. 73 ke4nt Posted by ke4nt1 on Dec. 04 2004,03:51

skype.tar.gz is now working in DSL-0.9.0 ..A wrapper was added to the startup , pointing to the internal /opt/skype/lib/libfreetype.so.*, to keep it a "green" app.. Redownload recommended.. 73 ke4nt Posted by ke4nt1 on Dec. 04 2004,07:14
