Pango currently requires FreeType 2.0.3 not 2.0.4. (Trouble is
that they are somewhat source incompatible and it's hard to be
compatible with both.) We'll hopefully get this fixed soon -
for now, you can downgrade FreeType, or, to compile without
FreeType support, you could do:

 FREETYPE_CONFIG=no ./configure

in Pango.
