You are trying to link against system freetype library, right ? At some 
point they changed the API from

FTC_Manager_LookupFace into FTC_Manager_Lookup_Face

Two suggestions:
#1 Don't use system freetype, but instead use the one shipped with VTK
#2 If you really want system freetype, play with the file: 
VTK/Utilities/vtk_freetype.h to rename symbols properly -only if you 
know what you are doing-. With luck it might work, no garantee of course.
