Thanks friends from the Matplotlib and Freetype forum, =)
I've succeeded to compile all per-requisites from the source and executed the python build and install successfully under the SUSE Linux. I've already executed a few sample cases with a Agg .png render, its working perfectly under the s390 mainframe. In summary: Overall, all great support from the community, thanks.
