Hi Alexis,

I think there may be some confusion here. There should be no hard circular
dependency here. If poppler is not present, then cairo should still build just
fine, and should still have its PDF backend. The only thing that should be
missing in this situation is that cairo's PDF backend won't get tested by
cairo's test suite, (which doesn't even get run unless you do "make test").

Does that explain things better? Do you have any suggestion for anything we
could do to cairo to make this situation more clear? (Such as carification for a
particular README or error message that may have led you astray.)

Thanks,

-Carl

PS. Have fun with cairo.
