The ft2build.h is found, but it has "#include <config/ftheader.h>" and
the compiler cannot find this file because the "config" directory is
inside the "freetype2" directory.

If I show the compiler where the "config" directory is by linking to it

$ sudo  ln -s /usr/include/freetype2/config/ /usr/include/config

Then I get a slightly different error:

$ g++   -Ifreetype2  main.cpp  -lglut -lGLEW -lGL -o main
In file included from main.cpp:8:0:
text.h:9:23: fatal error: freetype.h: No such file or directory
 #include FT_FREETYPE_H
                       ^

(I included your suggestion of the "-Ifreetype2" parameter, but this
actually makes no difference)
