If your error is _identical_ to what was shown here, then it looks like
you have a broken X11 distribution.  I have:

$ otool -L /usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib
/usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib:
        /usr/X11/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib (compatibility version 13.0.0, current
version 13.2.0)

but for some reason it appears that you have an older libfreetype.6.dylib .
