[tex-live] Installation Failure

[Paul Jones]

Hello,

I tried to install tex-live today using rpmbuild --rebuild --force
http://pmrb.free.fr/texlive/texlive.spm.  I noticed a couple of
issues.

1) I tried to build and it failed.  I changed a few things in the spec
file, and then tried to build again.  It started the rsync again
instead of using the gzip that it already made.  It turns out that
someone checked in files to the svn repository during my install so
the version number changed.  Not wanting to download everything again,
I hard coded the old version number into the spec file.

2) It compiled it's own freetype2 even though I have the
freetype2-devel package installed.  The error I saw was: configure:
warning: ft2build.h not found. Using my own freetype2 sources.
ft2build.h is in /usr/includes

3) The build failed.  Below is the end of STDERR output.  I have a log
or both STDERR and STDOUT if you would like to look at them.  Any idea
why it failed?
