I am trying to compile Cairo.
I get the following error

I have X11/Intrinsic.h in /opt/X11/include

I tried

Sys.setenv(LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/X11:/opt/X11/lib")
Sys.getenv("LD_LIBRARY_PATH")
system("export LD_LIBRARY_PATH”)

and compiled again, but I get the same error.

What do I need to do so Intrinsic.h is found by the compiler?

Usually the location of include files is set at configure time. For R, I use

../R-devel-src/configure --with-x --x-includes=/opt/X11/include --x-libraries=/opt/X11/lib

It's not clear to me whether Cairo is the R package or an external library, but if it's the R package, you might try

install.packages("Cairo", type = "source", configure.args = "--x-includes=/opt/X11/include --x-libraries=/opt/X11/lib")
