Most likely you have more than one version of freetype installed: 
freetype-config is pointing -back at one version, but the dynamic linker 
is using a different version when you actually run the app. To check 
this, you could try running ldd on the backend bundle and checking 
whether the path to libfreetype is the same as the path given by 
'freetype-config --libs'.

docs/UPGRADE.UNX in freetype has a "Take care of XFree86 version 4" 
section with some instructions for dealing with this.

(This is a system configuration issue, so we can't fix this in GNUstep. 
However, back's configure could probably detect this and give more 
meaningful error messages than the dynamic linker.)
