[cairo] freetype, fontconfig configure error

[Rajinder Yadav]

Not to be rude, but not sure if my request made it out the mailing list? If it did and you're not sure why I am seeing a configure error please kindly ignore.

If you have any suggestions how I can track down the problem please advise.

Kind Regards,
Rajinder Yadav
