Problem with cairo

Hello,

I want to install lablgtk, and when I was doing "./configure" (for lablgtk),
I got
following attached error msg (1).

So I try to download cairo and comple it, but after "cd cairo-1.4.14",
when I was doing "./configure" (for cairo), I got following attached msg
(2).

And then a funny thing is that I actually should have cairo installed on my
machine
using "MacPorts", according to attached commands and msg (3).

Anyone can help me to see what are is the problem here?
Many thanks in advance!

------------------------------------------
(1) ./configure for lablgtk
------------------------------------------
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for BASE_DEPENDENCIES... configure: error: Package requirements (
glib-2.0 >= 2.13.5    atk >= 1.9.0    pango >= 1.17.3    cairo >= 1.2.0)
were not met:

No package 'cairo' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables
BASE_DEPENDENCIES_CFLAGS
and BASE_DEPENDENCIES_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

(2)  ./configure for cairo

Anything can I do to keep on installing lablgtk without problems from cairo?

Thanks and Regards,

I wrote quite a comprehensive answer (almost) to this on the lablgtk list.

In short, your probelms have nothing to do with Ocaml or lablgtk, but
rather with your inexperience with installing software from source on
a Unix system and/or problems with MacPorts.

For problems with MacPorts try the MacPorts mailing list. For help with
installing software from source, maybe someone in your department at
Rice University can help.
