I solved the problem by building and installing the latest fontconfig
and freetype libraries.

Note that the stated requirements for pango were met (nor did
configure complain), but, for some reason the existing libraries
didn't work:

  rpm -qa | grep fontconfig

    fontconfig-2.4.1-7.el5
    fontconfig-devel-2.4.1-7.el5

  rpm -qa | grep freetype

    freetype-2.2.1-20.el5_2
    freetype-devel-2.2.1-20.el5_2

I installed fontconfig 2.6.0 and freetype 2.3.8.
