I'd say this is a mistake. You should probably install the fpc port in
/usr/ports/lang/fpc. There may be reasons to install your own version
instead of a port, but you haven't presented any.

Again, you should probably have used the ports version, in
editors/fpc-ide.

Where did you get these from? And what versions are they?

This is almost certainly a mistake, as a major version number change
indicates that the interface changed.

Well, yeah - you're linking against *the wrong library*. My system has
a /usr/X11R6/lib/libgdk_pixbuf.a, installed from the
graphics/gdk-pixbuf port. That does have the function you're looking
for.

No, FreeBSD's stock-installed gdk_pixbuf-2.0 does not contain the
functions you need from gdk_pixbuf. This should not be surprising.

Again, you *don't want* gdk_pixbuf2. And that port doesn't provide
gdk_pixbuf2, but almost certainly requires it, so it'll install the
port to provide that library if it isn't there. But that doesn't help
you at all.

Shared library versioning hell is platform-independent. In general,
FreeBSD's port/package system is older than Linux package
managers. This means they got to learn from it, and are in some ways
better. On the other hand, it also means that the freebsd ports system
has features that those systems may not have yet.
In particular, you can use the sysutils/portupdate port to update
ports, and it will move old versions of shared librarys out of the way
so they don't confuse new builds, but will still be found by older
packages that depend on them.
You can also use the sysutils/portsearch port to find files that the
ports will install for you.

I'd install the fpc and fpc-ide ports. If you want to continue the way
you started, delete your bogus symlink, and install the
graphics/gdk-pixbuf port to get the library you need.
