The problem seems to be that it is trying to load one of the shared libraries from the wrong place. I don't understand why it is looking in this place, because the compilation of gnome-python-extras correctly specifies that the libraries are at /opt/local/...

Did you have things such as freetype installed in /usr/local? That could very well cause issues, especially if they are later removed; gcc unfortunately likes to look for libraries and headers in /usr/local.

No response; assuming /usr/local stuff was to blame.
