[cairo] Build error w/ Cairo 0.1.23

[Eric Scott]

  Hey; I've been trying to install cairo-0.1.23 from source on a Redhat 
8.0 system w/ an Athlon chip.  I need it to run some parts of Mono 
(http://www.mono-project.com), but it won't make.  I'm a relative newbie 
to Linux, and installing a large project like mono and it's dependencies 
is a real task for my little noggin.  NEwho, here's the error:

I don't know much about C++ and all that fun stuff, but this seems as 
simple as a left out #include statement in the source, maybe?  Anyway, 
anybody know how to get around this?  If all else fails I can  finally 
do the upgrade from Redhat 8.0 to 9.0 or Fedora, as Mono has RPM 
packages for the later RH/RH-Based distros.
   Thanx,
