Check that freetype2 is installed. Also check that the freetype2.pc
file is in /usr/local/libdata/pkgconfig/.
freetype2.pc was not there, but 'pkg_add -r freetype2' installed it.
I had done the original installation using the disc1.iso only.
Thanks for your help. I reported the problem mostly because
the error message asked me to report it.
