 I have been googling a lot, but no success!

 {{{
 $port install freetype
 --->  Computing dependencies for freetype
 --->  Activating freetype @2.3.9_1+macosx
 Error: Unable to execute port: Image error:
 /opt/local/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib already exists and does not belong to a
 registered port.  Unable to activate port freetype.
 }}}

 Any idea? Thanks very much in advance!

 (I attach the output of $port -d build freetype)

Comment:

 It looks like something got messed up with your install. You need to
 either delete or move the file and try again, or simply force the install.

 {{{
 sudo port -f activate freetype
 }}}
