Hi all,

I am trying to install yt using pip in an anaconda environment I just setup. I am running into an issue with freetype. I installed freetype from this location: 
http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/freetype and I created the freetype.cfg file as shown in the example. Yet, installing with pip produces the same error that it cannot read the FTYPE location from freetype.cfg .

Thanks,
Alex
