As the error message says, the ImageMagick configure script is doing
"#include <freetype/freetype.h>" to see if that works.  This has never
been recommended, and recently this was deliberately broken.  As the
error masage says, programs should use this instead:
  #include <ft2build.h>
  #include FT_FREETYPE_H
You need to ask the ImageMagick authors to fix their configure script.

Kind regards,
