[Ipe-discuss] freetype problem when running pdftex

[Rainer Typke]

Actually, it points to /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6.3.3, which is the new 
one which I compiled this morning.
Just to be sure, I removed all old freetype library files, so now there 
are only the version 2.1.4 .so and .a file I compiled this morning and 
the links to them. Ipe's behaviour when "Latex"ing is still the same.

Is it really clear that version 12.136534824.136454352 is actually 
version 2.0.4?

Best regards,

Rainer
