Comment 17 for bug 669211

The binary packaged xpdf still segfaults/crashes on every pdf file.

I successfully compiled a working xpdf on natty.

Here are the required dependencies aside from the regular automake etc packages (these were the maverick build-deps):
libfreetype6-dev libpaper-dev libt1-dev libx11-dev libxext-dev libxp-dev libxpm-dev libxt-dev x11proto-core-dev
I made sure that libpoppler-dev was not installed.

./configure can't find libfreetype. One has to:
cd /usr/include/ ; sudo ln -s freetype2/freetype

And then just getting the original source (apt-get source xpdf), and tar-gunzipping the original source, configuring, making and installing works fine.
