[cairo] A20 7" tablet running linux w/ Cairo and keep encountering segmentation fault

I have an A20 7" tablet that has Linux and Cairo loaded.  I wrote a small test program below and compiled and linked the program to an executable.  But any cairo c program I attempt to run results in a segmentation fault.
I've even tried the framebuffer code further below to have Cairo output to the Linux framebuffer but also results in a segmentation fault.  The segmentation faults occur at cairo_show_text (cr, "Hello, world"); and cairo_stroke (cr);


Both programs compile and link fine without errors.  Please let me know what I am doing wrong.  It is possible my environment is not setup correctly but any help would be appreciated.  

Best regards,
Bart
