Can you run any other basic X program, for example, `xclock' or
`xeyes'?

Maybe an X11 library is missing.  BTW, tracing with FT2_DEBUG doesn't
help in this case, since the error is not located in the FreeType
library.  You might get more information with

  strace ftview ... &> strace.log

You might also have a look into your local `.xsession-errors' file
(for me, it's in my home directory) or the global `Xorg.log' file (see
directory `/var/log' or something similar) for relevant messages.
