what version of cairo are you using ? cairo-ocaml worked with the last
snapshot (cairo-0.4) but I haven't much time to work on it since.

the error message means make is trying to compile files in the wrong
order. Try `make clean' and then remove src/.depend : make should
compute dependencies and hopefully compile things in the right order
this time.
