[HarfBuzz] compiling harfbuzz0.9.16 on linux (CentOS release 5.5)

[Rob Bothof]

Dear List,

i'm trying to compile harfbuzz on our server,
compile succeeds but hb-view gives symbol lookup errors

i've compiled all dependencies from source, as this distro is quite old

I think it might a problem with linking, but wouldn't know where to start
any help is very appreciated!

regards,
Rob Bothof
