The error message says that ld is not finding the library in question.

Where did you set the variable?  Because perhaps it is being set after
it is being invoked?

Also, make certain that after you set that variable that you export the
variable.

Oh - and is the file in /usr/local/lib a real file, or a symlink?
Do an
ls -l /usr/local/lib/libfreetype.so.6
and see if the first character is a '-' .

Finally, if you type 
$ ldd /bin/gnome-session

the result will be a check to see which dynamic libraries can be found.
