OS X Panda 3d installation issue (sdk and web runtime) libfreetype dependancy

[zenerbufen]

Both the Panda3d SDK and the webruntime after installation failed to run properly, the webruntime gives the following error:
==============================================================================
== PandaLog-/Users/dusty/Library/Caches/Panda3D/log/p3dsession.log
== PandaLog-Full Start (p3dsession.log)
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib
  Referenced from: /Users/dusty/Library/Caches/Panda3D/hosts/runtime.panda3d.org_96a0ec538744def6/panda3d/cmu_1.7/libpanda.dylib
  Reason: no suitable image found. Did find:
 /Users/dusty/Library/Caches/Panda3D/hosts/runtime.panda3d.org_96a0ec538744def6/panda3d/cmu_1.7/libfreetype.6.dylib: can't map
== PandaLog-Full End (p3dsession.log)

using ppython to open a tutorial resulted in a similar problem, only it looks for libfreetype.6.dylib in /usr/X11/lib/ instead of /usr/X11R6/lib/

I fixed the problem by installing xquartz and making symlinks of /opt/X11/lib to /usr/X11/lib and /usr/X11R6/lib

This seems like a huge pain to expect out of end users, I should be able to just download the webruntime and go.

Why doesn't panda3d bundle its own copy of this file like other well behaved OS X apps, (Chimera, VLC, Boxee, cider/wine)

Might be useful to specify which OSX version you're using and on which architecture.
