When you get a chance please write a bug against this issue. It seems
that there are a few things that need to be fixed:
1. error message is wrong and misleading
2. configure is not finding the libraries
3. configure is not detecting a missing library (iconv) and disabling
freetype if the missing lib is required.
4. freetype without iconv should be ok unless this is a new requirement
5. doc needs to be updated as required
Also I would think the a missing -liconv should cause a fatal link error
in make.
Thanks,

Freetype is not the problem. I already figured it out - my gd font
support needs -liconv and configure is not adding it to the gd test.
It looks like the mapserver configure doesn't get the libs from the
gdlib-config script but makes a common guess.
I thought I had this working in the past, but it's possible I only
recently added iconv support to my gd. I forget.

You need to make sure you have the truetype package installed on
Linux this is called something like freetype2. On my debian
system:
ls /usr/include/freetype2/freetype/ config ftcid.h
ftimage.h ftmodapi.h ftsnames.h ftxf86.h freetype.h
fterrdef.h ftincrem.h ftmoderr.h ftstroke.h t1tables.h ftbbox.h
fterrors.h ftlcdfil.h ftotval.h ftsynth.h ttnameid.h ftbdf.h
ftgasp.h ftlist.h ftoutln.h ftsystem.h tttables.h
ftbitmap.h ftglyph.h ftlzw.h ftpfr.h fttrigon.h
tttags.h ftcache.h ftgxval.h ftmac.h ftrender.h
fttypes.h ttunpat.h ftchapters.h ftgzip.h ftmm.h
ftsizes.h ftwinfnt.h
ls /usr/lib/libfreetype.* /usr/lib/libfreetype.a
/usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 /usr/lib/libfreetype.la
/usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6.3.18 /usr/lib/libfreetype.so

It would help if I turned off the find words option ;) There it
is in configure, I just need to figure out why it was disabled.

Something has killed my font support in MapServer in the
compilation stage.
I'm getting a "Keyword FONT is not valid without TrueType font
support" error at runtime. It looks like font support is
conditionalized on USE_GD_TTF or USE_GD_FT, but I can't figure
out where this is set in configuration. I don't see those in
the GD sources either.

The equator is so long, it could encircle the earth completely once.
