I have gotten Gem to compile sucesfully with font support using the xcode project somewhat. I get 1125 warnings, mainly this is the location of the previous definition. My biggets problem is that in my machine I have the latest freetype under usr/local/lib and I also have the freetype that comes with x11 under usr/ X11R6/lib. When I load gen in my machine it loads up fine with text support, but when I load up gem in a machine with only the freetype in usr/X11R6/lib Gem will not load up because it keeps looking for the libfreetype.6.dylib in usr/local/lib. I dont know how to remedy this. Any help would be great. Thanks, Alain
