Yes, true.

I can reproduce the error:

Makefile:4332: *** PKG: cannot find PKGNAME for "cairo/ 
libHScairo_a.deps",  flag requested.  Stop.
make: *** [all] Error 2
Sinope:~/source/gtk2hs as49$

The error looks different if cairo is still in ghc's package system.

So I guess you have more recent experience with the build system, so  
I'm happy if you want to have a look :-)

Axel.
