MPlayer-0.90rc4 fails compile

[Chris]

End of compile-log:

libvo/libvo.a(font_load_ft.o): In function `read_font_desc_ft':
font_load_ft.o(.text+0x17a7): undefined reference to `FT_Get_First_Char'
font_load_ft.o(.text+0x17dd): undefined reference to `FT_Get_Next_Char'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [mplayer] Error 1

Compilation is successful if I disable freetype-support (configure 
--disable-freetype).

Setting the freetype-config path and a rebuild of freetype2 with enabled 
bytecode interpreter doesn't solve the problem.

Any further ideas?
