This looks like a problem in the compilation setup of `libimagingft':
The Makefile (or whatever) should call

  freetype-config --cflags

to get the right options for the header include directories.  For
example, on my GNU/Linux box I get

  > freetype-config --cflags
  -I/usr/local/include/freetype2 -I/usr/local/include

Alternatively, the program might use pkg-config to do the same:

  > pkg-config freetype2 --cflags
  -I/usr/local/include/freetype2 -I/usr/local/include  

Note that the former method uses a script `freetype-config' installed
by FreeType; the latter uses a file `freetype2.pc' (also installed by
FreeType), to be found e.g. in `/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/'
