This function is only used when compiling with freetype >= 2.1.10. If you are 
getting the error with 2.1.9, there must be something wrong with your 
freetype installation. Could it be that headers from 2.1.10 are used in both 
cases ?

There were similar problems with freetype 2.1.9 in FC4 (they were the reason 
to limit using of FT_GlyphSlot_Oblique to freetype >= 2.1.10). What 
distribution are you using ? Have you tried compiling freetype from source ?
