I've discovered a bit more information which should be helpful....

The problem seems to be due to the compiler not providing a default copy 
c'tor for 'cairo_point_t'  Or (to put it another way) the offending 
lines work fine if I compile as C++ but not if I compile as regular 'C'.

Sadly however, compiling as C++ just throws up a whole host of other 
problems elsewhere  :-(

Hope that helps,

John
