<div dir="ltr">Hey Mike,It's been quite a while, years actually, since I built X from source but I'll help as much as I can. From the error, your right, you need freetype fonts. Unfortunately I don't have any quick fixes for you error. Sorry.<div><br></div><div>John</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Aug 30, 2020 at 10:44 AM mike young <<a href="mailto:mike.young@nd.edu">mike.young@nd.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Attempting to build X on Debian Buster install.

Evidently building freetype is not sufficient for building X. Any hints <br>
as to what I have neglected to do?<br>

Thanks...<br>
