I've tried moving the /usr/local/lib files. I'm a completely clueless newbie, and haven't found anything in the FAQs that seems on point. Any help would be appreciated.

If you have freetype-related stuff in /usr/local/, it would indeed be wise to move this out of the way while compiling Fink things. From what you are showing above, one cannot see, however, whether /usr/local/ is interfering just with the current building of gtksourceview or whether it has already done some damage earlier.

It is possible that this pathname "/usr/local/lib/libfreetype.la" is already hardcoded in some other *.la file from a package you built before. To find out, the best way is to move the whole /usr/local out of the way and retry building gtksourceview. If it still complains as above, then you would need to try to find out which package has this /usr/local/ stuff. For example

  grep /usr/local /sw/lib/*.la

If this shows anything, you would need to find out (using "dpkg -S") where the file comes from and then rebuild that package, too, while /usr/local is still away.
