hello, so the freetype.rc is defined with env variables that are supposed to be fed in when packaging it. LIBZ seemingly was missing when the fedora 8 packaging of freetype was done. I added -lz directly to freetype.rc and rebuilt successfully matplotlib. I have no clue which mailing list to ping for a fedora packaging issue.... Anyway, end of story for this part of the thread....
