Hi, I've encountered the exactly same problem today, running on Oracle Linux (= Red Hat 5.5, approximately)... Would anyone know a workaround for this, or if any not-too-outdated racket version would run with the old libcairo version?
Unfortunately I have no alternative to installing racket on some RedHat-like system in a VM, for the present purpose...
