Thanks Werner and Toshiya for your quick reply. See below the error message from the configure shell that comes with the original .zip distribution:
zbra:/opt/python/freetype2/freetype-2.4.6 # sh ./configure : command not found5: : command not found7: '/configure: line 73: syntax error near unexpected token `do '/configure: line 73: ` for x in "$@"; do source: 72 if test $# -gt 0; then 73 for x in "$@"; do 74 case x"$x" in 75 x--srcdir=*) 76 abs_ft2_dir=`echo $x | sed 's/^--srcdir=//'` ;; 77 esac 78 done 79 fi This might me the cause of the problem, as the configure shell stops with a syntax error. Any insight or idea how to fix it is welcome.
