Those are FreeType symbols. Check to make sure the FreeType lib you are 
linking against actually exists. FreeType makes new releases frequently 
and the library names are versioned; so the library built by the version 
of FreeType you downloaded might have a different name than the one 
referenced in the project file that comes with OpenVRML 0.16.5.

Also note that FreeType is only necessary for *rendering* text. If you 
are only interested in reading in a file to verify correctness, you 
probably don't care about that. If you don't define 
OPENVRML_ENABLE_RENDER_TEXT_NODE, you don't need FreeType. See README 
("Significant preprocessor symbols") for more information.
