Right now I have jenkins to do automation build and static code analysis for php projects. However, I need to look into client side javascript automation unit test suites and selenium server to do client-side functional test.
This post will be a long history of what I am going through (will include steps with failures…)
1. I downloaded phantomjs-1.7.0-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 binary file from this page.
2. When I executed it, I got this error:
phantomjs: error while loading shared libraries: libfreetype.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
3. So I installed libfreetype.so.6:
sudo yum install libfreetype.so.6
4. I still get the same phantomjs error, which says libfreetype.so.6 is not found.
5. Looks like the libfreetype.so.6 was installed on /usr/lib, which is for 32 bit software and phantomjs needs one for 64 bit system.
6. So I created symlinks and placed them in /usr/lib64/
7. I get different error message (progress made!):
phantomjs: error while loading shared libraries: libfreetype.so.6: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32
8. It turned out that I just needed to install freetype:
yum install freetype
9. Now another dependency issue:
libfontconfig.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
10. “yum install fontconfig”. that installed correct lib files.
11. Got it installed. 🙂
[xxxxx@localhost ~]$ phantomjs –version
1.7.0
UPDATE Dec 6, 2012
Found this blog post for Phantomjs and qunit.
Another very resourceful answers at stackoverflow regarding phantomjs, ant, and jenkins.

Yey! This also works in Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install fontconfig
I had the same error you were getting:
phantomjs: error while loading shared libraries: libfreetype.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
and it appeared I had freetype installed correctly.
After a longer than I would have liked time I realised I was running the 32bit version of phantonjs on a 64 bit OS.
Im only admitting to it so save someone else a lot of time trouble-shooting.
Solved my problem too.
Thank you!
Worked on Centos 6.4 too.
