Hi,
I am having problems installing freetype-2.3.1 on solaris 9.
When I did ./configure, it showed me the following message:

configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating unix-cc.mk
config.status: creating unix-def.mk
config.status: creating freetype-config
config.status: creating freetype2.pc
config.status: creating ftconfig.h
make: Nothing to be done for `unix'.

Then I did make, and it showed me the following error:

In file included from builds/unix/ftsystem.c:21: ./builds/unix/ftconfig.h:42:10: #include expects "FILENAME" or <FILENAME>
./builds/unix/ftconfig.h:43:10: #include expects "FILENAME" or <FILENAME>

And so on.... Could anyone please tell me what the problem is? Thanks, Krishi.
