As Liviu pointed out to you, "running" != "compiling against". You need -dev
packages for the latter.
Also:

You can make your live easier by relying on the prebuilt versions:
$ sudo apt-get install r-cran-cairodevice
(or using aptitude or which frontend your prefer) as Mint should have it as
Debian/Ubuntu do.
Besides that, start trying to understand the error messages from configure.
"'foo' not found" is telling you to install foo.
