Freetype (and GD) installation for Mac 10.8.5

[Jun Inoue]

Dear All,

I cannot install freetype to complete GD installation.

According to the following website, I need to install Freetype and Fontconfig

to install libgd properly.

http://zientzilaria.herokuapp.com/blog/2012/06/03/installing-circos-on-os-x/

I am using Mac 10.8.5.

I tried homebrew (shown below) and manual from downloaded freetype-2.5.2 (not shown).

[JunINOUE:srctemp]$ ls

fontconfig-2.11.0/ jpegsrc.v8d.tar.gz libpng-1.6.2/

jpeg-8d/ libgd-2.1.0-rc2/ old/

[JunINOUE:srctemp]$ cd libgd-2.1.0-rc2/

[JunINOUE:libgd-2.1.0-rc2]$ ./configure

checking build system type... x86_64-apple-darwin12.5.0

checking host system type... x86_64-apple-darwin12.5.0

....

** Configuration summary for libgd 2.1.0-rc2:

Support for Zlib: yes

Support for PNG library: no

Support for JPEG library: yes

Support for VPX library: no

Support for TIFF library: no

Support for Freetype 2.x library: no

Support for Fontconfig library: no

Support for Xpm library: no

Support for pthreads: yes

….

[JunINOUE:libgd-2.1.0-rc2]$ brew install freetype

Warning: freetype-2.5.2 already installed, it's just not linked

[JunINOUE:libgd-2.1.0-rc2]$ brew link freetype

Linking /usr/local/Cellar/freetype/2.5.2... Warning: Could not link freetype. Unlinking...

Error: Could not symlink file: /usr/local/Cellar/freetype/2.5.2/bin/freetype-config

Target /usr/local/bin/freetype-config already exists. You may need to delete it.

To force the link and overwrite all other conflicting files, do:

brew link --overwrite formula_name

To list all files that would be deleted:

brew link --overwrite --dry-run formula_name

Thank you for your help.

I really want to use some figs by circos in my next paper.

Best,

Jun Inoue

Hi Jun,
you have to specify to brew to install GD with freetype support :
>brew install gd --with-freetype

best regards,
Val

Dear Val,

I uninstall all related modules and homebrew 

and succeeded re-install everything following this website.

http://kylase.github.io/CircosAPI/os-x-installation-guide/

For manual GD installation, I followed this website.

http://www.perlmonks.org/bare/?node_id=1067561

I summarized my installation here (but in Japanese).

Thank you very much.

Best,

Jun Inoue

Hi Jun,

This might be a silly question but I am new to this. What is an easy way to uninstall all related modules?

Thanks,

Daisy

Do you mean the Perl modules?

Shaun's homebrew recipe for installing all the components is described in this thread

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/circos-data-visualization/qOIjmy4_wnM

If you only need to install a specific Perl module, you can do it using CPAN on the command line

> perl -MCPAN -e shell

...

install Config::General

install Params::Validate

...

You don't need to worry about uninstalling Perl modules. They don't take up that much space.
