Trace all the versions of freetype2 you have on your system, and make  
sure the header files for compilation *and* the libraries for linking  
are taken from the *same* version. Best guess is to install the  
lateste release you can find in /usr/local/lib and tune your paths so  
that it is picked

If you on Leopard, then you must add

-framework Cocoa -framework QuartzCore -dylib_f
ile /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/Libraries/ 
libGL.dylib:/S
ystem/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/Libraries/ 
libGL.dylib -L/usr/X
11/lib

to your LDFLAGS before running ./configure.
