Your build of matplotlib is probably picking up a different freetype library
than the one you intended, one which somebody else built. Possibly the one in
/usr/X11R6/lib/. You can use otool(1) to figure out what shared libraries your
extension modules are linking against:


[matplotlib]$ otool -L ft2font.so
ft2font.so:
        /opt/local/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib (compatibility version 10.0.0,
current version 10.8.0)
        /opt/local/lib/libz.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current
version 1.2.3)
        /usr/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version
7.4.0)
        /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version
88.3.3)
        /usr/local/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current
version 1.0.0)
