Dear all,

I am new to this list, so this question may sound silly.

I am using Mac OS X 10.4.3, and my Python is

Python 2.3.5 (#1, Mar 20 2005, 20:38:20)
[GCC 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1809)] on darwin

I have updated my freetype2 by darwinports to libfreetype. 
6.3.7.dylib, which I think it is freetype 2.1.9_1

And here is my modified setup.py, in which JPEG works after this file  
is changed like this.

FREETYPE_ROOT = '/opt/local/lib/'
JPEG_ROOT = '/opt/local/lib/'
TIFF_ROOT = None
ZLIB_ROOT = '/opt/local/lib/'
TCL_ROOT = None

Finally, I ran

python setup.py build_ext -i --include-dirs=/opt/local/include -- 
library-dirs=/opt/local/lib

But I still get the error, that is

*** FREETYPE2 support not available

Did I miss any critical step? Thanks for your enlightenment!
