E-mails don't come through immediately.  You've posted this exact 
message 6 times already ( 
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/engine?list=mythtv&do=search_results&search_forum=all&search_string=libfreetype+install+issue&search_type=AND 
) at 1:43, 1:50, 1:54, 1:59, 2:00, and 2:36 AM in whatever time zone the 
list uses.

Sorry, though, I don't use FC, so I can't answer your question.  Maybe 
someone else will see the post and reply (even though it looks like 
you've already gotten many replies--which were actually just copies of 
the e-mail).
