However, for clarification, is this error from building pycairo or matplotlib? matplotlib *should* be able to bypass pkg-config if it isn't available. > Anyway, I have created a pdf using the wxagg backend, which yields the > same result (markeredgewidth is always 1 when viewing with foxit).

Thanks for helping out.
