<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">Hi --</FONT>
<BR><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">I was doing a new build, kill-and-fill on the contrib directory, latest SVN (as of 19:00 EST today).</FONT>
<BR><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">It failed on building freetype.</FONT>
<BR><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">Best I can tell, what happens is that a 0KB file called freetype2 gets created, prior to the attempt to mv the freetype-2.x.y directory to a freetype2 directory.. Therefore, it errors out -- you cannot create a directory called "freetype2" at the same directory point as already contains a file named "freetype2".</FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">Here's the portion of the make that generates the error:</FONT>

<BR><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">mv freetype-2.1.9 freetype2 || true</FONT>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">I ended up manually deleting the 0KB freetype2 file, and manually renaming the freetype-2.1.9 directory to freetype2, continued the make.</FONT></P>
