It seems autotrace is looking for an older version of FreeType
(judging by the file dates), in which the naming scheme
libfreetype6.dylib was used instead of the more recent libfreetype.
6.dylib (with a dot added). The G4 has the two versions, hence
autotrace is happy.
Why you have these two version on the G4 I don't know: an older
FreeType i-Package, or a FreeType of another origin (compiled from
source?)?
If this analysis is correct, the remedy would be -- I imagine -- an
update of the FreeType and autotrace i-Packages, so that they have
matching versions (autotrace being updated to a version looking for
the current version of FreeType, or FreeType being downgraded to the
version that autotrace is looking for). Or is the added dot in the
file name an error at compilation time?
That said, I prefer personally potrace to autotrace.
