Version 2.4.0 is very old.  You might try the current release, 2.5.5.

OK.

It seems that for the csh family you have to use `setenv' or `set'.  I
strongly suggest that you use bash or sh for running FreeType's
configure script – I'm not a csh user, and scripts are tested for sh
(and bash) only.

Of course, patches are highly welcome to support csh also (in case
there is some necessary work to do)...
