problems in ubuntu fonts rendering with freetype2

[oscar santis]

I've compiled and installed FreeType 2.3.11 in Ubuntu 9.04, i need it for to compile Gem,  but since this event  my system fonts rendering changed.
I type this commands:

./configure --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install

I didn't like new fonts rendering, and Ubuntu's font settings work bad.
I remove FreeType 2.3.11 with

sudo make uninstall

console said

./builds/unix/libtool --mode=uninstall rm -f /usr/lib/libfreetype.la

libtool: uninstall: rm -f /usr/lib/libfreetype.la /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6.3.22 /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 /usr/lib/libfreetype.so /usr/lib/libfreetype.a
rm -f /usr/include/freetype2/freetype/config/*

rmdir /usr/include/freetype2/freetype/config
rm -f /usr/include/freetype2/freetype/*
rmdir /usr/include/freetype2/freetype
rmdir /usr/include/freetype2
rm -f /usr/include/ft2build.h
rm -f /usr/bin/freetype-config

rm -f /usr/share/aclocal/freetype2.m4
rm -f /usr/lib/pkgconfig/freetype2.pc

but i can't open any program. For example if i type xterm console says

xterm: error while loading shared libraries: libfreetype.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I reebott my computer and system can't start.
How can I recover previous state before installing FreeType 2.3.11
Thanks

This overwrites the Ubuntu system's freetype with the one you've compiled.

> sudo make uninstall

This removes the one you compiled, leaving no freetype on your system.
This is why nothing works. You need to restore the original version
from the Ubuntu package.

Generally it is better to test libraries by installing them with
--prefix=/usr/local instead of /usr. On most systems this will
override the system version, but if it's removed or there are marked
version differences, applications can still use the distro version
from /usr. This is why --prefix=/usr/local is the default.

Good luck with the recovery,

That is, you probably want to do something like:

  aptitude reinstall libfreetype6 libfreetype6-dev

as root, to force it to download and reinstall the packaged
version. (Installing the latter package will get you the files you need
to build other programs against Freetype too, which'll probably solve
your original problem.)
