Question #193989 on Graphite changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/graphite/+question/193989

Steve Keller proposed the following answer:
Having just gone through this with RHEL 5.8 and Python 2.7.3, I can say
this - you have to install a pycairo version that is the same as the
version of the cairo library you have.  For us, with our repos, that was
1.2.4 (cairo) and 1.20 pycairo.

Also, you have to build pycairo, there is no other way to install it on
RHEL 5 using a newer Python.  To do this, you have to configure in the
following way, after downloading and untarring the source:

PYTHON=/usr/bin/python2.7 ./configure

If you don't do that, python gets installed in the default Python, 2.4.

Hope this helps.

Note - this was a major pain for me (maybe I'm just dumb), but the
install instructions for pycairo do not include this information, and
there are a couple of places that Google found that have the sequence of
commands wrong.
