Bugzilla Bug 196450

Some recent update has broken KDE Control Center font setting module. If I try
to use it, kcontrol crashes with the following error message:

kcontrol: symbol lookup error: /usr/kde/3.5/lib/kde3/kcm_fonts.so: undefined
symbol: FT_Library_SetLcdFilter

Recompiling kcontrol does NOT, repeat does NOT help. The rest of the Control
Center seems to work fine.

Please try if this problem persists when using KDE 3.5.8.

Unfortunately, upgrade to 3.5.8 didn't help :( . Kcontrol still crashes on
fonts.

I recompiled freetype, libXfont, libXft and kcontrol (again): No luck, still
crashes...

Which freetype version do you have installed? What's the output of 

`nm /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.<full-version> | grep FT_Library_SetLcdFilter`


May there some other freetype library floating around on your system? 

Freetype 2.3.0 and above provide the necessary function.

Please re-open this bug after providing the information Carsten asked for.
