I also encountered this problem on mac OSX. The problem is that the version of gm4 that is installed on mac OSX is 1.4.6 and that for some reason the godi package for cairo requires a more recent one. I could install cairo by simply replacing the OSX gm4 by the version 1.4.15 and then everything went well afterwards.
Hope this helps, Sylvain.
