Now I only have to find out why another user gets the error

"find_package cannot find package FREETYPE because FREETYPE_DIR is
set to "/sw/lib/freetype219" which is not a directory containing a package configuration file (or it is not for the requested version)."

although everyone else with the same configuration does not get this error. Maybe another framework interfering...

Not a framework this time. Turns out it was a case-sensitivity problem:

The scribus CMakeLists.txt had

FIND_PACKAGE(FREETYPE REQUIRED)

but the module in cmake-2.6/Modules/ is called FindFreetype.cmake.
This is no problem for people running a case-insensitive file system, which is the majority on MacOSX. There cmake simply loads a file named FindFREETYPE.cmake, or so it thinks. But MacOSX also offers case sensitive file systems, and there it fails. It works with

FIND_PACKAGE(Freetype REQUIRED)

Three remarks:

1. It would have been nice if cmake had given a comprehensible error message, like not finding a fitting Module.

2. Why are the names of the Find*.cmake Modules such a colorful mixture of upper- and lowercase? How should a cmake user remember that it is Curl and CUPS (or the other way round?), Freetype and EXPAT?

2. I don't know how this can work on Linux where the file system usually is case sensitive. I'll ask the scribus developers about it.
