Building R with Cairo

All-

      I have been hacking on an R 2.15 build on an Ubuntu 10.4 box, and I do
not know how to debug R's error message regarding cairo "working".
  Configuration completes without the expected additional capability (cairo)

R is now configured for x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

   Source directory:          .
   Installation directory:    /app/vendor/R
   C compiler:                gcc -std=gnu99  -g -O2
   Fortran 77 compiler:       gfortran  -g -O2
   C++ compiler:              g++  -g -O2
   Fortran 90/95 compiler:    gfortran -g -O2
   Obj-C compiler:
   Interfaces supported:
   External libraries:        readline
   Additional capabilities:   PNG, NLS
   Options enabled:           shared R library, shared BLAS, R profiling
   Recommended packages:      yes
configure: WARNING: you cannot build info or HTML versions of the R manuals
configure: WARNING: you cannot build PDF versions of the R manuals
configure: WARNING: you cannot build PDF versions of vignettes and help
pages

and it appears the relevant error is:

checking whether pkg-config knows about cairo and pango... no

checking whether pkg-config knows about cairo... yes
checking whether cairo is >= 1.2 and works... no

Does anyone have perspective on what flags/tests to run in debugging this?
  Many thanks in advance for your perspective, and apologies for socializing
such a minor problem; I am so very close, but have been banging my head on
this for a while.

Many thanks,
Ben
