You have to specify --with-freetype to configure, pointing to your 
freetype installation.

I'm not sure why a missing freetype wasn't caught by configure, though. 
On the other hand, the freetype handling in configure is currently 
really crappy, so I'm not surprised. (I'm hoping I'll have enough time 
to fix that before I leave.)
