Error Undefined symbol: FT_Done_MM_Var

Installation, Linux September 11, 2019

NOTE: This Knowledge Base article only applies to Tecplot 2025 R1 and previous. Starting with Tecplot 2025 R2, Tecplot relies on the system’s own libfreetype.so.6 library.

Problem:

I receive the following error when running Tecplot on Linux platforms:

/tec360-bin: symbol lookup error: /lib64/libfontconfig.so.1: undefined symbol: FT_Done_MM_Var

Solution:

This issue typically happens on newer versions of Linux. To fix this, delete libfreetype.so.6 from the Tecplot ../bin directory.
