I also had problems installing pycairo on linux, there should be a file 
_cairo.so in the /etc/lib/python/site-packages/cairo dir, but it ended 
in the up in the  site-packages dir, if so, try moving it to the right 
directory.
I made a custom setup.py, but it doesn't compile the gtk stuff.
Plz let me know if this was the problem.
