I am getting the error below when I install the Cairo package:

cairogd.c: In function ‘ptr_to_raw’:
cairogd.c:490:18: error: expected expression before ‘!=’ token

I have the same issue. Turns out this is due to freetype2 2.6: https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?45376

The fix is in master, but currently not released.

Edit: Using freetype2 from master (6ec0434ec), I could successfully install.packages("Cairo").

PapaNappa, could you provide exactly the code you run to install it, please?

When I'm trying to install Cairo by devtools::install_github, I'm getting an error:

installing source package ‘Cairo’ ... \ libs gcc -std=gnu99 -I/usr/share/R/include -DNDEBUG -fpic -g -O2 -fstack-protector-strong -Wformat -Werror=format-security -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -g -c cairobem.c -o cairobem.o In file included from cairobem.c:5:0: backend.h:5:21: fatal error: cconfig.h: No such file or directory

include "cconfig.h"

compilation terminated.

Thanks in advance!

install.packages("Cairo",,"http://rforge.net")

Do not use devtools, it doesn't create the correct tar ball and is unnecessary anyway.

FWIW: the work-around for the FT bug is now on CRAN.
