PyCairo

To install PyCairo on Mac OS X Lion:

1. download/unpack py2cairo

2. edit file build_directory/c4che/_cache.py to remove non-64 bit architectures (since these screw up the build process)

3. modify the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environmental variable to include the path to your X11 pkg-config, not just the default pkg-config, using this command:

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig:/opt/X11/libpkgconfig:/usr/X11/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH

4. cd /temp/py2cairo && ./waf configure

5. ./waf build

6. ./waf install
