In this case, the missing library is almost certainly /usr/compat/linux/usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 which works by the Linux rules -- so the library the app tries to linkagainst is libfreetype.so.6, which is a link to libfreetype.so.6.3.18.
I'm fairly confident that this is the case, because the FreeBSD nativeFreetype library is
/usr/local/lib/libfreetype.so.9
Completely different ABI version number, unlike what the OP posted.
To the OP: that shlib comes from the linux_base-f10-10_2 package on my
machine, so unless you're missing chunks of that package you should have
it. Use 'pkg_info -g linux_base\*' to see if any of the package contents
have got lost or scrambled. It will probably tell you that
/compat/linux/etc/ld.so.cache doesn't match the original checksum, but that's
normal, as that file is modified whenever you install any other linux shlibs.
Further more, the linux ld.so.cache file should contain a record for
libfreetype:
% /compat/linux/sbin/ldconfig -p | grep freetype
libfreetype.so.6 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6
You should be able to rebuild it by
# /compat/linux/sbin/ldconfig -v -n /lib /usr/lib /usr/X11R6/lib
Cheers,
