You have to understand a bit what you made.
If INSTALL_DIR string is empty when configure run, --prefix will be empty, and you usually don't set prefix that way.
Either you want --prefix=/ ,--prefix=/usr or you let the default prefix be used (which is usually /usr/local).

Usually distrib packager use --prefix=/usr.
When --prefix is not set, default prefix is /usr/local, so everything you compile by yourself will not replace the code installed by your distrib, but be found as earlier in the PATH.

Don't you install pixman as in the rrrdool howto?

Same remark for --prefix
--cache-file=config.cache may not have the effect you would think.
If trying different configure option in a row, previous configure results are retrieved from config.cache, so the last settings you try with configure may not take effect.

maybe the effect of empty --prefix, I don't know?

In any case, compilation has failed, cairo is not properly installed, and you should fix that error before trying to achieve the next step.
