Would this cause the same problem?


Yeah, I went straight from installing fink to install bundle-kde.


That has given me:

Xfree86 4.3.0-2
Xfree86shlibs 4.3.0-2

But also

freetypeshlibs 1.3.1-6
freetype2 2.1.3-1
freetype2shblibs 2.1.3-1

Obviously I've installed some other junk since then, various wm's, editors etc. I don't know if the 1.3.1-6 has any bearing on this ... or how it got there ... or whether it should be removed ...

Yes, and this is something that is going to get worse before it gets better.

 The problem, really, is the existence of freetype at all; depending on
 the X server you're using, it can either cause problems or it won't.

 The reason is that FT_New_Face is a symbol that only exists in freetype
 2.1.3 or higher.

 XFree86 4.2.1 (which includes Apple X11) comes with freetype 2.0.9 I
 believe (at least, it comes with something older than 2.1.3).  If you
 have it and the Fink freetype2 package installed, it's a crap shoot as
