Once again thanks for all the feedback everyone.

Well, I think we are getting closer to the real issue. I went ahead and made
the symbolic link as suggested by Erick.

robertg's-computer:/usr robertg$ ls -l
total 8
lrwxr-xr-x     1 root  wheel     10 Apr 26 22:31 X11 -> /usr/X11R6
drwxr-xr-x     4 root  wheel    136 Apr 26 22:30 X11R6

 I still receive the same error as before: dyld: Library not loaded:
/usr/X11/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib

 I looked in the directory, and sure enough there is no libfreetype.6.dylib,
but there is a  libfreetype.6.3.dylib

 I tried a symbolic link between 6 and 6.3, but it started complaining about
versions.

 Thanks again for all the help.
