Does one need --with-freetype-dir[=DIR] in the compilation for freetype to work or does it default to the correct dir if no customizations to the freetype installation were made?

@wjnielsen - Good catch!

Add '--with-freetype-dir=..' to your compile command.

I've updated my original post with this correction.
