I'm getting the same error with cvs and the rpm for planet ccrma.
With gem 0.87 it's a little different :
/usr/local/pd-0.36-0/gem-0.87/Gem.pd_linux: undefined symbol: 
_ZN8GLTTFont12setPrecisionEd

I 'm using redhat 8.0 and I thought the problem was freetype 2.0.1, but 
now i'm completely lost.
Should I downgrade to freetype 1.3.1.  ?
Nicholas - did you uninstall any former version of freetype ?

I hope someone knows what happens here and can bring us some light.
I was really happy using pd+gem 0.87 in redhat 7.1 .
