libfreetype.6.dylib is a file on my system and not a symlink. Do
you have any other broken symlinks in /usr/X11/lib? You should be
able to easily spot them using a colorized ls (I use coreutils and
LS_COLORS, but '/bin/ls -G' will probably do something similar).
This got me curious so I had a look at my installation:
2$ ls -l *free*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 2950844 May 30 2008 libfreetype.
6.3.16.dylib
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 2040764 May 17 18:04 libfreetype.6.dylib
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 19 May 17 22:19 libfreetype.dylib -
> libfreetype.6.dylib
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 924 May 17 18:04 libfreetype.la
I'm not sure what it should be but I suspect what I have is not
right. I'm running the current versions of Mac OS and X. That
library from May 30 of 2008 looks out of place.
Quick follow-up. I checked the X11/bin contents with otool to see
what libs were being linked and the May 30 2008 library is not used
for anything in that directory:
Yeah, that 6.3.16 file is leftover from the original Leopard X11.
OSX 10.5.7 contained:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 3063072 2009-03-18 23:38 libfreetype.6.dylib
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 19 2009-03-18 23:38 libfreetype.dylib ->
libfreetype.6.dylib
and I'm guessing the ones above corresponded to 2.3.3.2 or 2.4.0_beta2:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 2040764 May 17 18:04 libfreetype.6.dylib
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 19 May 17 22:19 libfreetype.dylib -
> libfreetype.6.dylib
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 924 May 17 18:04 libfreetype.la
