   |  Is bb's configure script using freetype-config? grep should be able to
   |  tell...
 
 No, there is a freetype-configure script in the .buildlink/bin directory
 (under the bb work dir).   There is no mention of freetype at all in the
 bb configure script.
 
 Note that the freetype-2 being used is the one bundled with NetBSD
 -current (as of late Jan, with the x sets installed) - the only freetype
 of any type installed is
 
 jinx$ pkg_info | grep freetype
 suse_freetype2-13.1nb2 Linux compatibility package for freetype-2.x
 
 which I assume must be needed for flashplayer or something, as
 that's about the only linux binary package I installed (not as a
 dependency of something else.)
 
   |  Otherwise nothing you've reported offers much help, unfortunately,
   |  except that the problem is likely *something* in the configury not
   |  finding and adding the right -I and -l options for freetype.
 
 Yes, could be, though do note that it does all work when outside
 pkgsrc, so I'd suspect something in the pkgsrc machinery is
 getting it wrong,  but I have no idea how any of that actually works,
 so I don't know where to start looking.
