As Francesco pointed out, TTF support (FT1 based) should already
be included in your XFree86.

Hmm...we have already seen this kind of wierd errors:

> builds/modules.mk:74: no file name for `include'

Unfortunately, it was a report not a personal experience. Apparently,
something very screwy happened when make tried to evaluate the following
expression:

        $(wildcard $(TOP)/src/*/module.mk)

First and as usual, check the most recent development snapshot. :)
Second, if the problem persists, try the following commands in the dir
where you installed FT2 and give us the results unless you can analyze
them yourself (if they are too long, do not send them to the list: either
make them available somewhere and give as a location (URL), or send them
to me in private mail, please):

1. ls src/*/module.mk  . . .  this should list many files
2. strace make         . . .  make should search all src/* for module.mk
3. make -d -p          . . .  TOP should be . among other things
