    note that since you have installed fribidi somewhere unusual you will
    probably experience another fribidi problem later. The easiest way to
    avoid the next problem is to edit /usr/local/src/lib/pkgconfig/fribidi.pc
    and change the last line to:

    Cflags: -I${includedir}

    After we were introduced I noticed that both of them were carrying
    three-foot-long machetes. I hate hiking with convicts carrying machetes.
