Something like this:

1. Download the release tarball from
http://cairographics.org/releases/cairo-1.10.0.tar.gz

2. Unpack to, e.g. ~/src

3. cd ~/src/cairo-1.10.0

4. ./configure --prefix=$HOME

Note that installing to the default /usr/local may break your system,
hence the --prefix.

5. make

6. make install
