Compiling on Fedora 10.

I am using qt for the first time. I started by creating a simple GUI application with all the default settings. When I tried to build the project I got the following error messages.

However, when I did a search for -lfreetype I found it in the following directory. /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6.3.18

Is there anyway to resolve this issue?

Many thanks for any advice

    You have to install the freetype-devel package. The devel package contains the header files which in the case of freetype shoud be located at: /usr/include/freetype.
