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:

```auto
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](https://forums.synfig.org/t/success-1-april-merge-0-64pre-on-ubuntu12-04-like/2399/1)]).

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
