Hi Keith,

It looks like both methods fail, but for different reasons.

Fedora already has a pycairo package, so you may be able to use that.

For the configure method, I saw this mentioned on a forum as a possible
solution:
autoreconf -f -i -Wall,no-obsolete

Alternatively, download the development code from the git repository and
run:
/autogen.sh --prefix=<python_prefix>
