[poppler] Compiling Poppler on an Amazon EC2

[Igor Slepchin]

I'm guessing here but chances are you do not have the header files for 
the preinstalled libraries on your system. On Fedora these are usually 
packaged into *-devel packages, i.e., you probably need to do something like

"sudo yum install zlib-devel libcurl-devel cairo-devel"

etc.
