lib Xft errors

[jtowler%soncom.com@localhost (John R. Towler)]

I was building the latest swi-prolog (http://www.swi-prolog.org/) with
the XtSetLanguageProc, Xt initializing the display problem with the C
locale in NetBSD 6.0_BETA? yet to be resolved.  (Broke from swipl-6.1.2
on NetBSD 5.1.2 to NetBSD 6.0 BETA?.  Don't yet know why.  Book order of
the Xt initialization code is out of order, but that by it self is not
sufficient to solve it.  O'reilly Xt book example code does work on
NetBSD 6.0 BETA.)

I ran across this problem with Xft, which has occasionally happened with
other programs which use it.  I know the exact version of the latest
x.org libXft varies wrt what is deemed most suitable for the netbsd tree
requirements somehow.  I did try to obtain and build libXft from x.org
but the configure; gmake compilation broke.

On checking with compilation-minor mode of emacs, the C code of the
included Xft file is not syntactically wrong and there is nothing cpp
wise tricky about how it gets included.  What is the best solution for
this --- gcc version; Xft version; fixes?

Thanks,
John R. Towler
