The problem:
PHP was compiled together with freetype version 2, gd, and several other
extensions. It compiled and installed,
but calls to freetype from PHP failed.
Solution:
Use freetype version 1!
I note also that the freetype demos that required X11 also did not work on
the Sun workstation, but functioned
perfectly well on Linux. Perhaps there is a connection. The freetype test
binaries that come with freetype
version 1 had no such problem on Solaris. (I did not install apache and gd
on Linux, so I cannot say how
it all works together on any platform except Solaris 8.)
