[snip] Before going any further, I should say that I've got it working now (buried on the page is a bleeding edge repository site which I've now added to mine and it's installed via synaptic fine) - but certainly for my own education, I'd like to pursue this as I've never heard of the command pkg-config
> > pkg-config --exists --print-errors 'cairo >= 1.5' gives me nothing - just returns me to the prompt. > > pkg-config --exists --print-errors 'cairo >= 7.5' > gives me: Requested 'cairo >= 7.5' but version of cairo is 1.10.2 This prompts two more questions: 1) Is 1.10 > 1.9? i.e. did 1.10 come after 1.9 ?(numerically I know it's not but not sure how version numbering works) 2) According to configure - I need version 1.5 or later - hence my question above. So I don't know if my version is later than 1.5 or not.
