gbt+2 install problem

[BabyUbuntu]

hello ubuntu

its my 2nd day, i tried to installed gtk+2 but i got problem ...

root@babyubuntu:/home/babyubuntu/Mydocument/gtk+-2.0.3 #./configure --prefix=/usr

---- compile process ---

checking for freetype-config... /usr/local/bin/freetype-config
checking for FT_New_Face in -lfreetype... yes
checking For sufficiently new FreeType (at least 2.0.1)... no
configure: error: pangoxft Pango backend found but did not find freetype libraries

root@babyubuntu:/home/babyubuntu/Mydocument/gtk+-2.0.3#

configure: error: pangoxft Pango backend found but did not find freetype libraries

<-- i thougt i have to install pangocft ... then i asked it to mr google and mr sourceforge... i got this file freetype-2.1.8.. than i tried to install it


root@babyubuntu:/home/babyubuntu/Mydocument/freetype-2.1.8 # ./configure --prefix=/usr/

FreeType build system -- automatic system detection

The following settings are used:

platform unix
compiler cc
configuration directory ./builds/unix
configuration rules ./builds/unix/unix.mk

If this does not correspond to your system or settings please remove the file
`config.mk' from this directory then read the INSTALL file for help.

Otherwise, simply type `make' again to build the library,
or `make refdoc' to build the API reference (the latter needs python).

make: Nothing to be done for `unix'.
root@babyubuntu:/home/babyubuntu/Mydocument/freetype-2.1.8 #

someone told me that i have to upgrade my freetype then i upgrade my freetype-2.1.8 --> freetype-2.1.10

Otherwise, simply type `make' again to build the library,
or `make refdoc' to build the API reference (the latter needs python). <-- basic this.. then i installed phyton..

root@babyubuntu:/home/babyubuntu/Mydocument/freetype-2.1.10 # make refdoc
---- process ---
root@babyubuntu:/home/babyubuntu/Mydocument/freetype-2.1.10 #make install
-process---

i instaled debian package too for freetype
root@cupid:/home/cupid/Mydocument # dpkg -i libttf2_1.4pre.20030402-1.1_i386.deb
Selecting previously deselected package libttf2.

root@cupid:/home/cupid/Mydocument #

I found it!
Should edit file configure:
add "#include <ft2build.h>" before "#include <freetype/freetype.h>"!
