Hi Dave,

I notice that you haven't gotten any replies to your question here, so
let me attempt something.

First, I see that gcc is looking for a file name "libpixman-1-so.a".
That seems an odd name to me. The ".a" extension suggests a static
library, but "-so" suggests a shared library. So that seems funny at
least, but perhaps it's normal for your platform.

Meanwhile, I've never actually attempted to do any static linking of
cairo and pixman, (though it should work fine). Are you intending to do
that here?

What files exist as part of that installation? If you look at what files
exist and compare that to what gcc is being told to look for, perhaps
that will point to the problem.
