[Image-SIG] freetype installation questions

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.
