I have installed Ubuntu 13.04 and i got no problem with cairo on a fresh installation.
The build was also successful after i did this:
sudo apt-get install autopoint
sudo apt-get install libxml++2.6-dev libxml++2.6-doc
sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev
sudo apt-get install intltool
and i followed your instructions (adding 1 line in build.sh [url][Success] 1 April Merge / 0.64pre on ubuntu12.04 like]).
Note: libboost is very big and i think it is not necessary to install all of these packages but i was too lazy at this moment
Thanks for your help
