The cairo package is a set of Haskell bindings to the cairo library;
for it to work you must first have the development version of the
cairo library installed through your operating system's package
management system.  E.g. on debian/ubuntu it is probably called
something like cairo-dev.  That package will provide things like
C header files and so on.
