I think we need to know more.  Are you using your own freetype library,
or the freetype code that comes with vtk?  What kind of vtk build are
you doing?  Carbon? Cocoa? PPC? Intel? gcc? icc?

Maybe you can add "-Y 1455" to the linker flags, to get a more detailed
error message from the compiler/linker, see:
