general/other Where is / or How do I install "libfontconfig.so"?

[ikevin8me]

I'm trying to run some Linux binaries, and I'm hit with this "libfontconfig.so" not found. Where is the library or how do I install it?

Looks like it's x11-fonts/linux-c7-fontconfig.

Also, there's ports-mgmt/pkg-provides that can help with finding this type of info.

If for whatever reason that didn't work, you can always install in manually (and for similar situations):
1. Go to https://packages.debian.org/buster/amd64/libfontconfig1/download
2. Download the package: http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/f/fontconfig/libfontconfig1_2.13.1-2_amd64.deb
ar -x libfontconfig1_2.13.1-2_amd64.deb
tar -xzf data.tar
cp usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfontconfig.so.1.12.0 /compat/linux/usr/lib64
ln -s libfontconfig.so.1.12.0 libfontconfig.so
