Make sure you have pkg-config and freetype2-devel installed (don't know the exact rpm name, could also be freetype-devel). You error message suggests either you don't have the development headers for freetype installed, and/or pkg-config cannot find them. Take a look at the "compiling" and "RPMS" sections of http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/installing.html. They are a bit out of date, but they do cover the problem you are having.
