Hi Troy,

Possible pointer to a fix:-

[root@simpson SOURCES]# diff -up  freetype-2.3.5-CVEs.patch.orig freetype-2.3.5-CVEs.patch
--- freetype-2.3.5-CVEs.patch.orig      2008-06-17 05:39:11.000000000 +0100
+++ freetype-2.3.5-CVEs.patch   2008-06-24 17:24:06.000000000 +0100
@@ -119,7 +119,6 @@ diff -up freetype-2.1.9/src/type1/t1pars
       FT_UShort  tag;
  -    FT_Long    size;
  +    FT_ULong   size;
-+    FT_ULong   dummy;


       psaux->ps_parser_funcs->init( &parser->root, 0, 0, memory );

Making this change to freetype-2.3.5-CVEs.patch
(i.e. removing " FT_ULong   dummy" line 122)
recompiling and installing seems to have got inkscape and
openoffice working OK.

cheers,
Ronnie
