This is something wrong with your system. The shipped debian cairo package contains that symbol. $ grep cairo_xlib_surface_create /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2 Binary file /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2 matches and if you have libcairo2-dev installed: $ nm /usr/lib/libcairo.a|grep cairo_xlib_surface_create 00003540 t _cairo_xlib_surface_create_internal 00003aa0 t _cairo_xlib_surface_create_similar 00003890 t _cairo_xlib_surface_create_similar_with_format 00003c30 T cairo_xlib_surface_create 00003be0 T cairo_xlib_surface_create_for_bitmap 00003840 T cairo_xlib_surface_create_with_xrender_format > Problem seems to be with pango/cairo and can be fixed by rolling back to > earlier version.

I was the person who found that problem when I packaged cairo 1.2.4 and reported it upstream. It was never in any debian cairo package. The first google hit for a problem is not useful information. It is most likely you have your own compiled version of cairo installed. Delete that and your applications will work.
