I updated the ports tree via portsnap and then tried installing freetype2. Same problem: right the various prebuild checks for things like gcc I get the following lines config.status: executing libtool commands /usr/local/lib/libintl.so.9: Undefined symbol "_ThreadRuneLocale" *** Error code 1 Now, like you said, seems anything installed from ports will not run on the command line.
