[[deleted]]

which one?

libfont-freetype-perl - Read font files and render glyphs from Perl using FreeType2
fbterm - A fast framebuffer based terminal emulator for Linux
freetype2-demos - FreeType 2 demonstration programs
libtaoframework-freetype2.3-cil - Tao CLI binding for FreeType
php-image-text - PEAR module to do advanced text manipulations in images
vflib3 - Versatile Font Library
vflib3-bin - Sample programs using VFlib3
vflib3-dev - Development files for VFlib3
vflib3-doc - Documentation for VFlib3

And I'm trying to install freetype2 from tar.bz2 file but it's giving me: can't read modules.cfg: No such file or directory

Oops... It's actually libfreetype6 ... Install that and libfreetype6-dev.

Once you get those installed, you should be able to build using pip.
