...continually

Try "yum install libpng-devel libjpeg-devel freetype-devel freetype libjpeg libpng" That should do the trick.

slowly getting through this. seems like yum install has been the answer to all dependancy errors.

started configuring it, and got the error:

checking for flex... lex
checking for yywrap in -ll... no
checking lex output file root... ./configure: line 2426: lex: command not found
configure: error: cannot find output from lex; giving up

thanks for all the help. Does that mean I have to install lex?

Your going to need to install the devel for every dependency error it comes up with. Try 'yum install flex-devel".
