Cause:

The compile errors are caused by JhBuild downloading the latest version of Cairo in the CVS repository, which is not the latest version of Cairo. Cairo was recently moved to a git repository but JhBuild can't handle git repositories yet. PyCairo needs to be compiled with the git version of Cairo.

Solution:

Download and install git and manually checkout and install Cairo using:

 git clone git://git.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/cairo
