I get the message
*** Note: Your system appears to have the FreeType 2 runtime libraries *** installed, but 'freetype-config' is not in your PATH. Install the *** freetype-devel package (or its equivalent on your distribution) to *** enable Wine to use TrueType fonts.
even though I do have freetype-config in my PATH. It seems related to the test
dnl Check that we have at least freetype/freetype.h if test "$ac_cv_header_freetype_freetype_h" = "yes" -a "$wine_cv_fttrigon" = "yes"
(Note: comments, message, and code do not agree) I don't seem to have the <ft2build.h> and <freetype/fttrigon.h> files. Should I? This is on a SuSE7.3 system, FWIW.
