It looks like you have a problem in your system - see:

checking whether --static is needed... neither works, abandoning pkg-config

the flags provided by pkg-config don't seem to work so you would have to provide flags yourself. Look at config.log so see what exactly is the problem. You may have missing libraries, incompatible tools etc. - it's hard to say since you didn't provide any details. If you think that it should work, then specify the corresponding flags in CAIRO_CFLAGS and CAIRO_CFLAGS.

checking whether --static

Finally, I installed Cairo successfully using conda. Thanks a lot
