 I ran into a problem with xetex and freetype2 last night and it turns
 out that the latest freetype2 has dropped the freetype-config script,
 so old software that's trying to use that instead of pkg-config will
 start failing.
 
 Is bb's configure script using freetype-config? grep should be able to
 tell...
 
 Otherwise nothing you've reported offers much help, unfortunately,
 except that the problem is likely *something* in the configury not
 finding and adding the right -I and -l options for freetype.
