Freetype Error

[Alex Roston]

I finally was able to attempt to compile Gnucash today. (Yay!) However, 
compilation exited with the following error:

grep: /usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.la: No such file or directory
sed: can't read /usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.la: No such file or directory
libtool: link: `/usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.la' is not a valid libtool 
archive

Obviously make can't find freetype. IIRC, freetype was built into the 
most recent versions of X. Do I need to download freetype (If so, where 
do I get it?) or is there a way to tell make that it doesn't need freetype?

Thanks in Advance For The Help,
