OK I see a couple of problems going on here. First off I'm seeing mentions of 
Python-2.4.4 for the plone stuff and the renderPM build seems to be using 
Python-2.5 as the egg info file has py2.5 in it. You can fix that by referencing 
the correct python during the build process. Is there a python program inside

dev-sens-computer:/Applications/Plone-2.5.2/Python-2.4.4/bin

if so then you need to use that one to build properly for plone.

Simultaneously something seems to have gone wrong with the actual build. The 
reference to _FT_Load_Glyph in _renderPM seems to imply that it's being built 
with a copy of freelib2 somewhere around.

I have to say I don't do a lot of OS X hacking even though I bought a rather 
expensive  core duo macbook last year. I don't know what's going on here.

The setup code is doing this

if os.path.isdir('/usr/local/include/freetype2'):
	FT_LIB = ['freetype']
	FT_LIB_DIR = ['/usr/local/lib']
	FT_MACROS = [('RENDERPM_FT',None)]
	FT_INC_DIR = ['/usr/local/include','/usr/local/include/freetype2']

but at runtime the library is probably not being found. I remember the chacking 
for freetype is fairly horrible however it's done as there are two distinct 
layouts for freetype2, but the compile seems to work and the failure seems to be 
at runtime which implies the lib is not being found.
