[plt-scheme] drscheme fails at runtime (linux, plt-scheme-4.2.5)

Mathew (thanks for responding, btw),

Xft seems to be enabled.
''configure --help' says that xft support is enabled by default, and I
didn't disable it manually (I only did --disable-shared)

$ pwd
/home/imran/opt/plt-scheme/plt-4.2.5/src/build

$ grep -iC2 xft config.log
