This compile-time flag will help the compiler and linker to find the
freetype libraries, but that still leave the *runtime* link resolution high
and dry.  I would suggest add /auto/usrcisco-sunos-5.8-sparc-32/lib to your
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but in your private mail you indicated that this is (now)
already the case.  Or were you saying you'd added it to your *local*
environment instead of the environment in which Apache runs?

Another thing you can do via your CGI script is run 'ldd' (or whatever it's
SunOS equivalent is) on the cvsgraph binary to get a listing of dependent
libraries and whether or not those libraries resolve as expected.
