This dynamic linking error stems from an older version of
libfreetype.so.6 in /usr/local/lib or /usr/X11R6/lib.  If you haven't
already done a clean install of FC1 on that machine, run

  ldd -d /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1

to find out where the culprit is, and remove it (or the package it
belongs to).  After this, you need to execute /sbin/ldconfig.
