Hmm, thats odd. Well, that means blender isn't responsible for those
libfreetype files in /usr/local.

Try this (as root):

mkdir -p /usr/local/freetypelibs/
mv /usr/local/libs/libfreetype* /usr/local/freetypelibs/
/sbin/ldconfig

Then, try running R (a new session) with X11(). It should start working.

The next step is to figure out what in /usr/local/lib (or even
/usr/local) really depends on that old copy of libfreetype. Something
wanted those old libfreetype files to just show up in the library path,
and it will need the LD_LIBRARY_PATH override (or you need to rebuild it
against the system freetype).
