Somehow when I configure Xft on my system, the xft.pc file outputs with a line like: Version: i.e. the version number is not output. This causing anything using pkg-config that looks for xft to fail to find it. The xft.pc.in file has a line: Version: @VERSION@ which ought to work. Perhaps somehow this symbol is being exported properly in the configure script? Also could be an automake version incompatibily. This is on a debian unstable system.
Committed the same fix as for bug 122. Could you make sure it works?
