Actually, the development libraries *are* needed, though the headers are
not. This is because the dlopen tries to load
"libfreetype.so", NOT
"libfreetype.so.6". And, at least on Debian, only
the dev package provides
the libfreetype.so symlink, the library package
itself only contains
libfreetype.so.6. (This issue is Debian bug
#146136.) Ah, thanks for enlightening us ! :-)
(that's probably what prompted me to add this message in the first place)
As it's probably only a Debian specific bug (or isn't it ?),
It isn't. I'm using freetype 2.0.9-2 under RH 7.3 and the symlink isn't provided. It's provided by the freetype-devel package.
