I have tried using setup.cfg to point it to the location of libfreetype.a

bash-3.00$ ls -l *free*
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     system      1692230 Apr  8 05:13 libfreetype.a
bash-3.00$ pwd
/opt/freeware/lib

Here is my setup.cfg

#This is normally only used for win32
[FREETYPE]
#lib=path to your freetype2 .lib file  eg 
C:\Python\devel\freetype-2.1.5\objs\freetype214.lib
#libdir=path the the containing folder; leave empty uses dirname(of the lib)
#incdir=path to the include files for your setup or it uses ../include 
from the libdir
lib=/opt/freeware/lib/libfreetype.a
libdir=/opt/freeware/lib
incdir=/opt/freeware/lib
