I believe that's my fault.  PyCairo has changed its interface and
Gcompris had to adapt in order to compile successful, so I sent a
patch to fix it.  You're using an old version of PyCairo, but here I'm
using the latest version of it, so that's why I can build Gcompris
successfuly but you can't.

Unfortunately, it seems PyCairo doesn't have any versioning system
present on its header files, so I think it's probably impossible to
#ifdef this function call.

Bruno, what convention do you follow in those situations?

Regards,

Sérgio.
