I think that over the next few years Sam Altman is going to learn the same lessons that events have been trying to teach Elon Musk since circa 2021.
- You didn’t build that. The people that work for you did.
- Being a big hero is contingent on you and your behavior, and can change.
- Those people who are giving you all this money aren’t your comrades. When your usefulness is at its end, they won’t give you a second thought.

Anyone remember the shenanigans in Maricopa County in 2020?
I remember that when it all went to court, everyone who’d been incredibly bombastic about the shenanigans all of a sudden had nothing to say to back it up other than, “trust me, bro.”

That sounds perfect. Installing the system
-devel
package and-lfreetype
is the right way to do it. Glad you got it working! - Comment on How do you deal with it when you download library source code from github and need to change all the header includes to actually be correct? 2 days ago:
Remove the locally compiled install and install
freetype-devel
, and see if that works. - Comment on How do you deal with it when you download library source code from github and need to change all the header includes to actually be correct? 3 days ago:
That is what GNU Stow does, with a lot of package-management-like helper commands which make it all organized and convenient.

i don’t. i install the dev package of my distro
I think you cracked the code. I was really curious what distribution this person was using that didn’t have freetype, but missing installing the -dev package makes perfect sense and I definitely remember doing that and tearing my hair out trying to figure out why I couldn’t compile some thing that needed dev headers.
OP, install libfreetype-dev or its equivalent on your system. 90% chance that fixes it.

I definitely wouldn’t recommend changing every include.
Can you configure freetype to go straight into /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/include instead, with no freetype/? That would be how I would attack it. Most libraries are going to have a way to configure them to go where you want them to go. GNU Stow can be very useful here to keep things organized.
What distro are you using that doesn’t have freetype available? That seems strange.
