Hi,

On Mac OSX, you have another way to make graphite use libcairo.
- I've installed macport (macports.org)

- Then installed the following packages :

sudo port install python27
sudo port install cairo

- the following packages are needed as dependency :
Django-1.3.1.tar.gz             
django-tagging-0.3.1.tar.gz     
pycairo-1.8.4.tar.gz            
tagging-0.2.1.zip

You have to untar/unzip and then launch : (sudo) python setup.py install

- Finally, you can create a startup script for the whole package (django
web ui, carbon-cache, and why not activemq)

first of all to render successfully with graphite , you have to modify the script : 
/opt/graphite/bin/run-graphite-devel-server.py
and point the shebang line on the freshly installed python   #!/opt/local/bin/python2.7

DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/local/lib; ./bin/run-graphite-devel-server.py
/opt/graphite

Here is the script I use to launch the whole graphite platform :
#!/bin/bash

echo "Starting activemq server"
/usr/local/apache-activemq-5.5.1/bin/macosx/activemq start
echo "Starting Carbon Cache"
sudo bin/carbon-cache.py start
echo "Starting graphite development server"
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/local/lib; ./bin/run-graphite-devel-server.py /opt/graphite

Hope it helps.

Regards,

Mehdi BADREDDINE
