need help

i'm building Xorg 7.1 on knoppix 5.1..
i need to know.. which freetype version do i have to install for a
successful build and installation..

Because it  was written on modular developers guide that:
freetype <http://www.freetype.org/> 2.1.8 or 2.1.9. X may not link correctly
against earlier versions, and has known stability issues with 2.1.10.
FreeType <http://wiki.x.org/wiki/FreeType> 2.2.x breaks versions of libXfont
before 1.2.0, and all current versions of fnttosfnt.
If there is a compile error in libXFont, it is likely because
libXfont-X11R7.1-1.1.0 is incompatible with recent versions of freetype2
libraries. Installing
http://xorg.freedesktop.org/releases/individual/lib/libXfont-1.2.0.tar.bz2will
fix that.

I once used the current version of freetype and got that libXfont error...
i installed libXfont fix too but it didnt work.. and got the same error
again...

FYI the error was:
