FWIW I was able to workaround/overcome a similar build error by doing:
    sudo ln -s /usr/include/freetype2/freetype/ /usr/include/freetype
YMMV.

Still a problem in Karmic. The symlink above works.

Still a problem in Lucid. Although Frank Lynch's workaround above with the symlink works.

It sounds a little bit like you forgot to set the cflags as reported by `pkg-config --cflags ftgl`. But you didn't provide a complete example, so it is hard to check what you've done.
