seems fairly clear: xcb isnt installed on build8s.
or at least the pkgconfig files for it arent installed.

or actually... they are installed in /opt/csw/X11/lib/pkgconfig

Methinks cairo needs to be rebuilt or something, to give the "new and
proper" path to it or something. but otherwise, perhaps you can add that
dir to your pkgconfig path as first.


I hope our cairo/new-x11 maintainres can come up with a more transparent
solution to this stuff though.
