After installation of FreeType there are two possible, correct
solutions as follows.

* Either use

    /your-prefix/bin/freetype-config [options]

  to get the proper compilation and linker flags,

* or use

    PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/your-prefix/lib/pkgconfig \
    pkg-config freetype2 [options]

  to do the same (instead of `lib' you sometimes have to use `lib64').

I don't know how to use those results in the proper configuration of
libgd, though...
