 The wxpython Map Display window freezes and becomes unresponsive after
 changing the display driver from 'default' to 'cairo'.

 I have compiled Grass 6.5 from a fresh checkout from svn, set --with-
 cairo, --with-cairo-libs=/usr/lib, and --with-cairo-includes=/usr/include.
 One thing I just noticed is that the configure line

 {{{
 checking for cairo linking flags...
 }}}

 appears as it does above, with no confirmation about whether or not it
 found cairo linking flags. But then I'm not sure it it's supposed to print
 anything in a successful case, either.

 I've checked my package manager, and I have libcairo2 and libcairo2-dev
 installed, versions 1.8.8.

 Anything else I should check? Can anyone confirm this error?

 Thanks,

 ~ Eric.
