Hello Pavel,

I have heard of this happening before on OSX, ./configure for open motif does 
not find the directory containing ftheader.h. I have made it work by moving 
everything in (/opt/local/include/freetype2/freetype/ftheader.h) to  
(/opt/local/include/freetype/ftheader.h) - basically down one directory to it 
can be found in /opt/local/include - then rebuild with ./configure.  I imagine 
"./configure --prefix=/opt/local/include/freetype2/" would work just as well, 
as long as it doesn't prevent other necessary files from inclusion.

I have a different configuration for freetype on my OSX machine right now with 
ftheader installed by the SDK, I think, so not available in /opt/local to test 
this.  You should be able to give me a quick reply back if this works.  If not 
I find explore other solutions.
