Patrick,

I think the normal expectation is that you would have -I/usr/include/cairo
in your CFLAGS.  This can be set by using pkg-config:

     $ /usr/bin/pkg-config cairo --cflags
     -I/usr/include/cairo -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 
-I/usr/lib64/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include/pixman-1 
-I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/libpng15
