==================================
Installing cairo_wrapper on Gentoo
==================================

:Description: After fixing problems with my autoheader version everything went
  fine.

I tried to install the `cairo_wrapper`__ by `Hartmut`__ on my `gentoo`__
machines, to play around with it, and probably writing an output driver for
`Image_3D`__ , but I had some problems installing it, I want to share.

__ http://cairo-wrapper.php-baustelle.de/trac/
__ http://www.php-groupies.de/blogs/
__ http://gentoo.org
__ http://pear.php.net/Image_3D

`phpize` failed with different php versions with this error:

::

	/usr/bin/autoheader-2.13: Symbol `<file>' is not covered by
	/usr/share/autoconf/acconfig.h

The problem was, that on my Gentoo, the default autoheader version is 2.13,
even I have 2.60 installed, too. After contacting Hartmut, who said that he
uses autoheader in version 2.59 this line fixed my problems:

::

	# export PHP_AUTOHEADER="autoheader-2.60" && pear install
	# php-baustelle/cairo_wrapper-beta

If you want to install cairo_wrapper, by yourself you should of course
discover the channel first:

::

	# pear channel-discover pear.php-baustelle.de

Thanks to Hartmut for providing this package! :-)

  I can't get it to work under Ubuntu 8.04

  It always stops with this error: checking for pkg-config...
  /usr/bin/pkg-config configure: error: 'cairo' not known to pkg-config ERROR:
  `/tmp/pear/cache/cairo_wrapper-0.2.4/configure --with-cairo' failed

  Can somebody help?
