Hi,

I'm attempting to build PIL on a MacOSX box and python setup.py is  
failing on freetype2.

I installed Fink on this machine in order to get freetype2 and the  
jpeg libraries.  My understanding of Fink and its use is only a  
couple hours old.  ;)

In PIL's set.py script, I've tried setting the FREETYPE var to  
explicitly point to the fink lib install.  eg:

        FREETYPE_ROOT = "/sw/lib/"
and
        FREETYPE_ROOT = "/sw/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib"

Is this correct?  (libfreetype.6.dylib exists at that location and is  
read/writable.)  Fink also installed:

        /sw/lib/freetype2/lib/
                libfreetype.a
                libfreetype.la

Thanks in advance for any suggestions on getting PIL to build properly.
Scott
