Zooming in at the bug, I saw that the crash happens because at some point inside libfreetype.6.dylib, it jumps from the version in /sw/lib to the one in /usr/X11R6/lib. Both are loaded into memory at that time.
Don't tell me that it is bad to have both /sw/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib and /usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib loaded into memory, it is, but it is also inevitable: scribus is not linked with both, it is only linked with the one from /sw/lib, but it uses libqt3-mt which in turn is linked with libfreetype from /usr/X11R6/lib, and there is nothing one can do about this.
This situation does not lead to a crash automatically. The crash only happens when libfreetype from /sw is a flat_namespace library. And here lies the difference between the different versions: freetype2 versions below 2.1.7 build flat_namespace libraries by default, and 2.1.9 builds twolevel_namespace libraries. It is a difference in libtool versions. I confirmed this by building freetype2-2.1.7 with a twolevel_namespace library, and scribus crashes no more.
Now here comes my questions for the experts: What is the recommended way to persuade freetype2 to build twolevel images? I did the following brute-force hack: The freetype2.info file has
CompileScript: << make setup CFG="--prefix=%p" make <<
I added two lines so that it reads
CompileScript: << cp %p/share/libtool/ltmain.sh builds/unix/ cd builds/unix; aclocal; autoconf make setup CFG="--prefix=%p" make <<
This works and is short, but it is probably dependent on the version of libtool and of the autotools installed, it is incomprehensible, and ugly. Is there a more stable way short of putting all of configure and ltmain.sh into the patch file? There used to be the "UpdateLibtool" field that did things like this, but the /sw/lib/fink/update/ltmain.sh that is imported by this instruction is considerably older than the one I want to replace.
