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

       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
