can't compile cairo

I'm having problems compiling cairo on Slackware 13.1. Tried cairo versions 1.8.8 (which was previously installed) and 1.8.10.
The problem is the same - when i type 'make', some file are compiled and then I get a few thousand lines of errors about X11 files. See the example below.

Code:
/usr/include/X11/extensions/Xrender.h:47: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before 'PictFormat'

Before we go any further, is that where the errors start, or is there more above it in the mash of errors being outputted?

it's just a random segment from somewhere in the middle.

Could you see if it gives anything different and/or any better information when the errors first start shooting out?

Maybe you need to update; I don't run slackware.

What version are you trying to compile then? 1.8.10? In your original post you said you tried both 1.8.8 and 1.8.10, unless I am reading that wrong.

Why are you trying to compile cairo on Slackware 13.1? Cairo is a standard package in Slackware. For Slackware 13.1 cairo 1.8.8 is installed.

if you are looking to reinstall it, then just use:

~# slackpkg reinstall cairo

-OR- if the version is different that the Slackware base:

~# slackpkg upgrade cairo

- OR - if cairo has been removed then try this:

~# slackpkg install cairo

You can also go to the source tree of Slackware 13.1 and get the SlackBuild script if you really want to compile it.

I am trying both and the result is the same.

My ultimate purpose is to install Murrine Engine, which requires cairo >= 1.8.10. Thanks for the hint, I'll go with 1.8.8 for now until I find a solution.

Well, if you look at it, it starts with lots of errors from /usr/local/include/X11/Xlib.h and other libX11 header files in /usr/local/include. Remove all trash under /usr/local and try again. /usr/local/include and /usr/local/lib are empty by default so all you see there you have put there yourself and it's difficult for others to guess what's wrong there. (Probably conflicting library/header versions.)

Murrine engine is on slackbuilds.org and will compile with the stock version of cairo
