Hi Chris,

Thanks much for pointing me in the right direction (config.log):

...
configure:22497: checking for cairo's PNG functions feature
configure:22530: checking for png
configure:22537: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "$png_REQUIRES"
gnome-config: not found
Package libpng was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libpng.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libpng' found
configure:22540: $? = 1
...

libpng (/usr/ports/graphics/png) was installed on the system in question, but
for some reason /usr/local/libdata/pkgconfig/libpng.pc was missing which is
just a link to /usr/local/libdata/pkgconfig/libpng14.pc.

I re-installed the "png"-port and now cairo is happy again.

Thanks again for your help!
