He's on Mac OSX using Homebrew.

Scott, you have a conflict between incompatible libraries.  It looks to me as 
if you have an X11 install in /opt/X11 and another in /usr/X11.  I have Xquartz 
installed in /usr/X11, but nothing in /opt/X11.

Where did your "/opt/X11/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib" come from?
