After getting most of the dependent packages installed (had to remove firefox since I am having problems with xmlto) I am back to my original problem. Configure can not find freetype-devel.
checking xerces2 jar... /opt/local/share/java/xercesImpl.jar checking for FT_Init_FreeType in -lfreetype... yes checking for freetype header directory... no configure: error: "Freetype headers not found - try installing freetype-devel"
Freetype used to install headers in ${prefix}/include/freetype2/ freetype/internal but no longer does so. The freetype developers decided these were internal headers, not to be used by other programs. Maybe IcedTea is looking for headers there. If so, it will have to be rewritten to no longer do that. You could look through the configure script to see whether it's looking for freetype headers in that directory. You may need to contact the developers of IcedTea.
