| Okay, I just checked the ftgl tarballs on sourceforge. The 2.1.2 release
| has FTGL.h, the 2.1.3 release has ftgl.h.

OK.  I have the following packages installed:

segfault:847> dpkg -l '*ftgl*'
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Inst/Cfg-files/Unpacked/Failed-cfg/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
|/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name           Version        Description
+++-==============-==============-============================================
ii  ftgl-dev       2.1.3~rc5-2    transitional dummy package
ii  libftgl-dev    2.1.3~rc5-2    development files for libftgl
ii  libftgl2       2.1.3~rc5-2    library to render text in OpenGL using FreeT

So do we agree that the configure script and sources should be changed
to look for and use ftgl.h?
