Py2cairo installation error. Check for 'cairo'> = 1.10.0: not found

I am trying to install PyCairo (from a tarball source) on my OS X 10.5 using 32-bit Python 2.7 (from python.org) and cairo 1.10.2 from MacPorts. Therefore, I install "py2cairo". When I run python ./waf configure, I get

Checking for 'cairo' >= 1.10.0           : not found

I have cairo files here ...

$ ls /opt/local/include/cairo
cairo-deprecated.h          cairo-gobject.h             cairo-script-interpreter.h  cairo-tee.h                 cairo-xlib-xrender.h        cairo.h
cairo-features.h            cairo-pdf.h                 cairo-script.h              cairo-version.h             cairo-xlib.h
cairo-ft.h                  cairo-ps.h                  cairo-svg.h                 cairo-xcb.h                 cairo-xml.h
$ ls /opt/local/lib/cairo
cairo-fdr.0.so*         cairo-fdr.la*           cairo-sphinx.0.so*      cairo-sphinx.la*        libcairo-trace.0.dylib* libcairo-trace.dylib@
cairo-fdr.a             cairo-fdr.so@           cairo-sphinx.a          cairo-sphinx.so@        libcairo-trace.a        libcairo-trace.la*

But which directory can I pass to which parameter? They do not look appropriate when specifying the cairo library:

$ python ./waf --help
  ./options()
waf [commands] [options]

Main commands (example: ./waf build -j4)
  build    : executes the build
  clean    : cleans the project
  configure: configures the project
  dist     : 
  distcheck: checks if the project compiles (tarball from 'dist')
  distclean: removes the build directory
  install  : installs the targets on the system
  list     : lists the targets to execute
  step     : executes tasks in a step-by-step fashion, for debugging
  uninstall: removes the targets installed
  update   : updates the plugins from the *waflib/extras* directory

Options:
  --version             show program version number and exit
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -j JOBS, --jobs=JOBS  amount of parallel jobs (1)
  -k, --keep            keep running happily even if errors are found
  -v, --verbose         verbosity level -v -vv or -vvv [default: 0]
  --nocache             ignore the WAFCACHE (if set)
  --zones=ZONES         debugging zones (task_gen, deps, tasks, etc)
  --nopyc               Do not install bytecode compiled .pyc files (configuration) [Default:install]
  --nopyo               Do not install optimised compiled .pyo files (configuration) [Default:install]

  configure options:
    -o OUT, --out=OUT   build dir for the project
    -t TOP, --top=TOP   src dir for the project
    --download          try to download the tools if missing

  Installation directories:
    By default, "waf install" will put the files in "/usr/local/bin", "/usr/local/lib" etc. An installation prefix other than "/usr/local" can be given using "--prefix", for example "

Ok, got this part. I had to add

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH

before python ./waf configure, as some other paths were defined in PKG_CONFIG_PATHin my file ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist.

I ran into the same problem as you, but after that the setup completes successfully!
