                  Please install freetype and fontconfig, then try again:
                  http://freetype.org/  http://fontconfig.org/
I then executed this statement and configure completed successfully:
declare -x PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig 
cairo will be compiled with the following surface backends:
  Xlib: yes

the following font backends:
  FreeType: yes

Then I executed the following:
drh at localhost cairo-1.0.2]$ declare -x PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/usr/lib
[drh at localhost cairo-1.0.2]$ echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH
/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib
[drh at localhost cairo-1.0.2]$ locate libpng
/usr/lib/libpng.a
/usr/lib/libpng.so.2
/usr/lib/libpng.so
/usr/lib/libpng.so.2.1.0.14

./configure did not find the libpng

Here is where I just finished installing it:
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 /ext2e/freetype-2.1.5/builds/unix/freetype2.m4 \
          /usr/X11R6/share/aclocal/freetype2.m4
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 /ext2e/freetype-2.1.5/builds/unix/freetype2.pc \
          /usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig/freetype2.pc
[root at localhost freetype-2.1.5]# ldconfig -v         

Here are some other messages that I received which may affect the above:
