X11 Xft compile failure

[Lothar Scholz]

Hello MacOSX-Dev,

I still have to use X11 for my software and i tried to build the FOX
Gui Toolkit. Works fine without using Xft.

But when i configure it with "--with-xft" it not work my machine.
I get the following error for the first compiled file.

/usr/include/X11/Xft/Xft.h:36:10: error: #include expects "FILENAME" or <FILENAME>

This line is indeed "#include FT_FREETYPE_H" and so i guess there is
something wrong with my computer configuration.

Anybody know how i can fix it (without porting to Cocoa or Carbon)?

I manually installed freetype and fontconfig with the usual
"configure/make/sudo make install" so the files should be there.

I also updated to Xcode 2.4.1 just today.
