The problem is that Slackware has broken freetype headers. It has the
freetype1 headers in

 /usr/X11R6/include/freetype

and the freetype2 headers in 

 /usr/include/freetype2/freetype

or something like that, so that an include like "freetype/freetype.h"
is ambiguous. (The freetype1 headers should be in include/freetype1/freetype)

Removing the freetype1 headers from your system is probably the
easiest way to fix this.
