I have tried to build also the agg backend, but I can't find the source package for this library! I've found two version: one from http://antigrain.com and another from scipy cvs, but seems that there are some missing headers when I compile the backend. I have also packaged the gdmodule from http://newcenturycomputers.net/projects/gdmodule.html and the ttfquery module from http://sourceforge.net/projects/ttfquery/, all the debs are on http://anakonda.altervista.org/debian/ I can write some documentation about debian packages required, once I've tested them, but only for the next weekend, bye - -- /Vittorio Palmisano/ Home Page: http://redclay.altervista.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFALOhdpT6bvDtyXOIRAiQGAKDDQCrh0sELN09vI2dKYVfTKZ9H4ACgr8o2 ezklwMSi/Ke3zY5kK8DWwsI= =SX+C -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
