No, it isn't.  The `install' script in the top directory of the
FreeType 2 directory tree is *not* a script to install files.  It is a
shorthand for `make install'.  For some reasons it is used as a
substitute for the real `install' program.  How did you invoke
compilation and installation of FreeType?
