Your output is rather moth-eaten; about 1 in 20 characters is missing. 
But I don't think this matters for the problem at hand (if this were 
your harddisk dying, you would see more serious errors; it must come 
from your copy-paste technique or your mailer software).

Here is the bug: There should be --prefix=/sw/... on the configure 
command line, like it was the first time. This is the same bug as in the 
thread Alex was quoting. Like in that thread, I think the relevant 
information should be contained in the file
/sw/src/fink.build/freetype219-2.3.7-7/freetype-2.3.7/builds/unix/config.log

That file is too long to send to the mailing list. If you can, put it on 
the web somewhere and post a link here. If you cannot, please send it to 
me off-list, so that I can compare it with mine.

No guarantees, however. I remember from a few years ago cases where 
despite a lot of effort, some people were simply unable to build 
freetype2 sucessfully. The build system is weird and uses features of 
the make command language that make it sometimes unstable.
