Hi,
I am trying to get the R package Cairo installed. I've been successfully in
building the latest version of Cairo library (1.12.16,
http://cairographics.org/) from source and installed into ~/usr/local using
./configure --prefix=/home/fong/usr/local
I set the my CAIRO_LIBS and CAIRO_CLAGS environment variables in my
~/.bashrc:
export CAIRO_LIBS=${HOME}/usr/local/lib
export CAIRO_CFLAGS=${HOME}/usr/local/include
When I try to install Cairo in R using:
install.packages('Cairo')
I get the following error:
checking for pkg-config... /home/fong/usr/local/bin/pkg-config
configure: CAIRO_CFLAGS=/home/fong/usr/local/include/cairo
checking if R was compiled with the RConn patch... no
checking cairo.h usability... no
checking cairo.h presence... no
checking for cairo.h... no
configure: error: Cannot find cairo.h! Please install cairo (
http://www.cairographics.org/) and/or set CAIRO_CFLAGS/LIBS correspondingly.
ERROR: configuration failed for package 'Cairo'
But I can see the cairo.h header in /home/fong/usr/local/include/cairo. I
been trying to scouring the internet for answers, but I can't seem to find
any work for me. If anyone has any suggestions that would be helpful.
Thanks

Probably not much help to you, but for what it's worth: * on my system cairo.h is in /usr/include/cairo Perhaps the CAIRO flags that you set are not adequately guiding the search. * you need to have the *development* version of cairo installed; on my system (Fedora 17) I do: sudo yum install cairo-devel.x86_64 to effect this. * I believe that to get cairo to fly properly you also need to have (the development version of) *pango* installed. On my system I do sudo yum install pango-devel.x86_64 to effect this. * I don't know how (or even if it is possible) to get yum to install packages to a "custom" location --- as you would apparently need to do, since you have created a custom ".../usr/local" under your home directory. * I was under the impression that to get cairo to fly one needs to do ./configure --with-cairo All of the foregoing may be a red herring, off the point and have nothing to do with the problem that you are having. I don't really know what I'm doing. I just follow recipes. :-) Good luck. cheers, Rolf Turner On 29/04/14 07:26, Fong Chun Chan wrote:> Hi, > > I am trying to get the R package Cairo installed.

Make sure you have cairo-devel installed, and remove the lines
export CAIRO_LIBS=${HOME}/usr/local/lib
export CAIRO_CFLAGS=${HOME}/usr/local/include
from your .bashrc file. If you have cairo-devel installed normally,
the headers should be found with default settings of all search paths.
The settings you have are, to the best of my somewhat limited
knowledge, wrong - you need to prefix each directory with an
appropriate compiler flags (-L for library directories, and -I for
include directories). Anyway, as I said, 1. install cairo-devel using
your package manager, and 2. remove the two lines from .bashrc.
