Unpacked to xpdf-3.03.
Getting the executables to build with an rpath set so users don't
need LD_LIBRARY_PATH set was tricky because most of the source
code is in C++. It wound up being:
setenv LDFLAGS "-Xlinker -rpath=/util/freetype2/lib"
./configure --prefix=/util/xpdf-3.03 \
--with-freetype2-library=/util/freetype2/lib \
--with-freetype2-includes=/util/freetype2/include/freetype2
make
sudo make install
Without the LDFLAGS setting ldd run on the resulting executable xpdf/xpdf
showed libfreetype.so.6 was found but as the wrong library (it found
/usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 despite having been linked against
/util/freetype2/lib/libfreetype.so.6).

Unpacked to xpdf-3.02, downloaded the four patches currently
available to PATCHES sub-directory and applied them. Note you
need to be in parent directory of xpdf-3.02 to apply them:
% patch -p0 < xpdf-3.02/PATCHES/xpdf-3.02pl1.patch
% patch -p0 < xpdf-3.02/PATCHES/xpdf-3.02pl2.patch
% patch -p0 < xpdf-3.02/PATCHES/xpdf-3.02pl3.patch

as the wrong library (it found /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 despite having
