In Debian, the libraries are almost always split in two packages: One
containing the shared object and another one with "-dev" suffix which
contains the header files. For cairomm you need to install the
libcairomm-1.0-dev package, in addition to libcairomm-1.0.

And cairo support _is_ optional. If you want to disable it, just pass
the --disable-cairo to the configure script.

Cheers,
