Installing Cairo on OS X Lion

问题

When I try to install Cairo on OS X Lion with Python 2.7.2 it just does not work, I can build and install it, but when it comes to import cairo in python it can't be found. I have tried the How to install PyCairo 1.10 on Mac OSX with default and it just produces this error

 "_cairo_xlib_surface_get_width", referenced from:
  _xlib_surface_get_width in surface.c.1.o

回答1:

I had a similar experience while trying to install PyCairo on OSX Lion. The default install tries to use architecture i386 to install. You need to change this to the 64bit architecture, x86_64.

I tried setting the CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS to 'arch x86_64', but this didn't work. To make it work, I had to set ARCHFLAGS to this value.

export ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64"

Hopefully, this will solve the problem for you.
