Error with Matplotlib

Hi All,
I installed Matplotlib-0.80 on my linux machine with Freetype 2.1.7.I
didn't get any error in installation.
Now I am trying run some examples from Matplotlib and getting following
error

[ajve@...217... matplotlib-0.80]$ python examples/logo.py
Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: /usr/lib/libpangoxft-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol:
FT_Seek_Stream

When I tried to see if thiss symbol is defined in Freetype 2.1.7 libs,I
found its not.But this symbol is defined in the previous version of
Freetype.But when I am trying to use old version of Freetyope,I get
"FT_CURVE_TAG_CUBIC" error while building Matplotlib which is not
defined in old version of Freetype.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks
Ajay
