Starting with MapServer 3.5, you have to compile with a GD that was
compiled with freetype.  The --with-freetype configure switch is only
there to tell configure where to find the freetype library that was used
to compile GD in case it is not in one the default locations.  In most
cases you don't need it and configure will automatically detect that
your GD has freetype support built-in.
