Bug Description

FIND_PACKAGE(Freetype REQUIRED) reports :
CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:91 (MESSAGE):
  Could NOT find Freetype (missing: FREETYPE_LIBRARY)
although both packages libfreetype6 and libfreetype6-dev are installed.
So I added "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/" to the failing FIND_LIBRARY and the errormessage is gone.
But I don't want to change files that belong to a package on every machine.
And of course this works only for 64bit systems.

Installed versions are:
libfreetype6 : 2.4.4-1ubuntu2.1
libfreetype6-dev : 2.4.4-1ubuntu2.1
cmake-data : 2.8.4+dfsg.1-5~natty~pgquiles1 (same with 2.8.3-3ubuntu7)

I use find_package(Freetype) in ettercap code, and it works. I think it has been fixed a while ago.
