Hi Wadud:

The "cairo" PLplot device driver (which implements the pngcairo PLplot
device and others) is a bit of a misnomer since it depends on both
the pango AND cairo subset of the GTK+ suite of libraries.  So my guess is
your issue will be solved if you install the development version of
the pango library package.
