But why does it insist on using freetype from /usr/sfw even if I
configure with "-no-fontconfig -no-freetype qt-freetype"?  That sounds
like a bug, not a feature.

I would have thought so too but here is the ldd from libQtCore:

libpthread.so.1 =>	 /lib/libpthread.so.1
librt.so.1 =>	 /lib/librt.so.1
libm.so.2 =>	 /lib/libm.so.2
libdl.so.1 =>	 /lib/libdl.so.1
libaio.so.1 =>	 /lib/libaio.so.1
libmd.so.1 =>	 /lib/libmd.so.1
libc.so.1 =>	 /lib/libc.so.1
/platform/SUNW,Sun-Fire-V440/lib/libmd_psr.so.1
/platform/SUNW,Sun-Fire-V440/lib/libc_psr.so.1

It cannot be that one of these files in /lib or /platform is pulling in
libiconv!

Any suggestions?

...Jake
