Error when install QT4.1.1-opensource on RedHat9.0

[seasandwind]

Hello everyone, I try to compile and install QT4.1.1-opensource on redhat9.0.
I extract the qt-x11-opensource-src-4.1.1.tar.gz to an directory and cd this dir.
Then I type ./configure and do the configure successfully.
Then I type gmake begin to compile. But the compile end with an error occur.
The error message report:
"FT_Load_Sfnt_Table" undeclared. I can't figure out what lead to this error.
Could anyone tell me how to solve this problem?
I'll appreciate it very much.
Thanks.

Could you post the exact error message? Is this the first error you get?

This is a bug introduced with Qt 4.1.1.

Qt 4.1.1 makes use of FT_Load_Sfnt_Table which is defined only in newer versions of the FreeType library (typically not the ones found on Red Hat 9 systems).

You'll have to remove the code that makes use of FT_Load_Sfnt_Table in file src/gui/text/qfontengine_x11.cpp.

Interesting, I've got the same problem on RedHat EL9. Do you know if Trolltech have been informed about the problem?

I think it's a known problem, but you may send a bug report anyway.

Hello, cool man,

I removet the code about "FT_Load_Sfnt_Table", and compiler successfully on RedHat9.0.
But I don't know if remove the two line code, is Qtopia running still stable ?
Would you know if I need add some code to replace the removed codes ?

ThankS !!
