Strange.  I don't know why you get this problem.  There are the
following lines in ftglyph.h:

  #include <ft2build.h>
  #include FT_FREETYPE_H

The first header file should be found due to the
`-I/software/@sys/usr/include', if FreeType 2 is installed correctly
on your system.  It loads freetype/config/ftheader.h which should be
found due to the `-I/software/@sys/usr/include/freetype2' command line
option.  In ftheader.h you can find the macro `FT_FREETYPE_H' which
defines the name and location of freetype.h, which then contains
declarations of FT_Library, etc.

In case your compiler doesn't properly handle `#include <macro>'
(which it should since this is ANSI C) I wonder why I don't see an
error message.  Otherwise I don't understand why FT_Library and
friends aren't defined properly.
