More likely a freetype problem.

commit 7705e46966bfa05015fb9fb20c68da844ab88028
Author: Werner Lemberg <address@hidden>
Date:   Thu Dec 5 15:01:48 2013 +0100

    Issue 3694: Use standard inclusion scheme for FreeType headers.
    
    The most recent FreeType release (2.5.1) has changed locations for header
    files.  Using the standard way, this is not visible to applications.

Though I'd expect a different error to be honest.
