[cairo] Problem with cairo

[Peter Groves]

My only suggestion would be to try to install the cairo bindings for ocaml, and
see if that creates the reference to cairo that lablgtk then needs.

Really, though, I would suggest asking on the ocaml-beginners yahoo group
or possibly on the ocaml group (fa.caml on googlegroups). I think they're more
likely to be familiar with the packages giving you problems.

Good luck,
Peter
