X11: libfreetype.6.dylib

When I try to use the latest version of mplayer I get the following error: Incompatible library version: mplayer requires version 10.0.0 or later, but libfreetype.6.dylib provides version 6.3.0

Does someone know where I can find the 10.0.0 version of this library? All help is welcome, it's rather important.

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.5.1)

Here is what is supplied with the X11.app that gets installed with 10.5 (or possibly the 3.0 Xcode developer tools):

<pre>
% otool -L /usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib | head -n 3
/usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib:
/usr/X11/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib (compatibility version 10.0.0, current version 10.16.0)
/usr/lib/libz.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.2.3)
</pre>

Somehow you have the 10.4.X version.

actually I should provide more info.

I am trying to play EAC3 (only) audio tracks on my macbook. The only way I can think of to do this is to install mplayer. I have tried this (both from the official release site, and the Overlook build SVN-071205-01 [the most recent] from www.haque.net). Both crash immediately with the same error message:

dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/X11/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib

X11 is definitely installed (and reinstalled) on my macbook. When I initially got this message I updated to v 1.1.3. This had no impact. So I ran

sudo find / -name "libfreetype*"

I got this result:

/Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/modules/libfreetype_plugin.dylib
/usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.6.3.dylib
/usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib
/usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.a
/usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.dylibsudo find / -name "libfreetype*"

based on that I copied the x11r6 directory and created a new one X11. When I ran mplayer I got the new error message ... ie, I need version 10 of libfreetype.
