 Ok, I did a cvs update and still got the same failure to build.
 
 I watched the configure stage a little more closely and noticed that when
 the build fails, FT_Get_Next_Char is not being detected:
 
 checking for getopt_long... yes
 checking for iconv... no
 checking for FT_Get_Next_Char... no
 checking for FT_Get_BDF_Property... yes
 checking for FT_Get_PS_Font_Info... yes
 checking for FT_Has_PS_Glyph_Names... yes
 checking for FT_Get_X11_Font_Format... yes
 checking for FT_Bitmap_Size.y_ppem... yes
 
 
 When I set USE_BUILTIN.freetype2 and H_FREETYPE2, FT_GetNext_Char gets detected
 ...
 checking for FT_Get_Next_Char... yes
 ...
 
 Here is a snippet from config.log when failing:

 Also I noticed that when I set USE_BUILTIN.freetype2 and H_FREETYPE2, the pkg x11-links
 is required, otherwise it is not.  Even with x11-links installed, the build will fail unless
 USE_BUILTIN.freetype2 and H_FREETYPE2 are set.  Is there any other info that might be useful
 I can provide?
 
 Thank you for your help
