I completely gave up trying to compile freetype 2.x into GD. However
I was able to successfully compile freetype 1.3 directly into PHP
which seems to work fine.

IE:
    forget trying to use:
              --enable-gd-native-ttf

    instead:
              --with-ttf=/usr/local/freetype/

    which assumes you have freetype 1.3 installed to  /usr/local/freetype


BTW  - I have my own question. To restart apache at the moment I have to set
and export:

     LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/freetype/lib/

Anyone know what I need to do to get this recognised by Apache internally.
( I am running Debian Linux "Potato" )
