Hi,

After recently upgrading my Cairo deb packages, I am getting this error message when tryign to load the library via CFFI:

Unable to load foreign library (NIL). Error opening shared object "libcairo.so": /usr/lib/libcairo.so: undefined symbol: pixman_format_supported_destination.

perhaps you're missing libpixman, or you have an old version: on my system libcairo.so is linked to /usr/lib/libpixman-1.so.0 which contains that symbol. To view the list of ELF symbols in a library you can use objdump -T
