Answer 1

If anyone is still having this problem and found this page, the following works for CentOS 6.6:

sudo yum install cairo cairo-devel

Basically the solution is you need to install the development package as well as the regular package (the best answer here does the same thing - except is for Ubuntu - every distro can be different).
