I don't know what to make of it. I also have a 1.5-GHz PowerBook G4.  
freetype 2.1.10 was already installed, but I told it to forcibly  
reinstall it, and it worked fine.


You get this error when installing any port because those other ports  
all depend on freetype? Or are we talking about other ports that have  
nothing to do with freetype? If so, can you show us that output?


Others seem to have this problem with freetype 2.1.10 on other  
platforms, like this:

Have you tried to clean the work area and start again? "sudo port  
clean --work freetype", then "sudo port install freetype"?


Do you have Fink installed, or anything in /usr/local that might be  
interfering with the MacPorts build?
