I had similar problems building Font-FreeType-0.03.
But I propose a better solution: Use pkg-config instead of hardcoding the search paths. That's how it was intended by
the freetype developers anyway.
The two lines in Makefile.PL should be:
LIBS => `pkg-config --libs freetype2`,
INC => `pkg-config --cflags freetype2`,
Issues could occur if multiple pkg-configs are installed and the wrong one is picked up, but that can easily be fixed by
pointing PKG_CONFIG_PATH to freetype2.pc's location.
