I am trying to install the Cairo package on a linux machine, the Cairo
package did not install correctly (could not find cairo.h), I am new to
R and linux any help on the installation would be great. Below are
output from trying to install the Cairo package, thought this might help.

Install the cairo headers? Probably in some cairo or cairo-devel package for your OS. Uwe Ligges Douglas M.
