[cairo] Cairo error: mandatory image surface backend feature could not be enabled

Hi,

PROBLEM
I have spent the last 10 hours trying to install Cairo on RedHat
Enterprise Linux 5.5 x86_64 without success.
Cairo returns this error during configuration: "configure: error:
mandatory image surface backend feature could not be enabled"
Please provide guidance on how to proceed from here.


WORK DONE SO FAR
Install dependencies first
	these version were already installed:
		libpng-devel 1.2.10
		zlib-devel 1.2.3
		libXrender-devel 0.9.1
		fontconfig-devel 2.4.1

FYI
	qpixman 0.13.3 was already installed (sounds like a variation of
pixman, I left it alone)
	Cairo 1.2.4 was already installed (looks like a lot of other programs
depend on it, I left it alone)


Install pixman
	cd /tmp
	sudo tar -xzvf pixman-0.18.4.tar.gz
	cd pixman-0.18.4
	configure the package: sudo ./configure --exec-prefix=/usr/local/lib64
	compile the package: sudo make
	run verification tests: sudo make check (all 10 tests passed)
	install the program: sudo make install

		Libraries have been installed in:

				If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
				in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
				specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR'
				flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
				   - add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
				     during execution
				   - add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
				     during linking
				   - use the `-Wl,-rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
				   - have your system administrator add LIBDIR to `/etc/ld.so.conf'
				
				See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
				more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.
