I've tried the following - none of which avoid matplotlib finding the

Actually, that should have been
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/export/home/drkirkby/32/sage-4.4.3/local/lib/pkgconfig
but it does not help the situation.
This issue is not specific to Solaris either. On sage.math (linux), the install
shows:
freetype2: 9.16.3
which is what is shown by
kir...@sage:~$ /usr/bin/pkg-config --modversion freetype2
9.16.3
So it looks to me like the presence of pkg-config on a system is forcing
matplotlib to use that version of freetype and ignore the one which is shipped
with Sage. That can't be desirable, but how to fix it is less than clear to me.
The *only* way I have found so far to avoid matplotlib finding the old version
of freetype2, is to change the permissions on pkg-config so it can't be
executed. That needs root access of course. Then Sage reports it finds
freetype2, but does not know the version. It would appear to me at that point
that it probably finds the one shipped with Sage.
I thought the high version number of freetype2 on Solaris might have been a
mistake, but it is similar on sage.math too. There's something I'm not
understanding here.
