This is something that developers are complaining about bitterly.  The constant 
shifting of the lib folders away from accepted, long-standing, standard 
locations.  I now create symlinks from the "found" locations to the standard 
locations of /lib/ /usr/lib, /lib64, and /usr/lib64 as part of my installer 
scripts.

Ok, the Nautilus search gave better results than the Terminal one. I finally 
found these files:
libcairo.so.2 in /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu
libcairo.so.2 in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

Those two files are each a link to libcairo.so.2.11400.6 files in the same two 
directories.

No mention of simple libcairo.so file (i.e. without the ending “2”). Not sure 
that it's relevant or not.

Yes. So where is the file on the disk?

In the software manager, the thing that looks most like Cairo is named 
“Libcairo2” and is already installed. Is it this one you asked me to install?

I'm remote debugging, so the IDE is not running. Still, the remote debugger and 
my app launch without Cairo.

So I'll need to instruct the users to install it manually; don't ask me why I 
dislike Linux…

Thanks.

Strange that Xojo works without Cairo?

Well, it's a system library and you should not put it next to your app.

I will, for testing. But if someone wants to try my app, (s)he will also need 
to install the library, which is "ugly". Can't I install the library somewhere 
next to the app?

You're right: LogoMBS also fails.

I'm actually failing to find it; could it be not installed? Linux isn't the 
system I'm most comfortable with.
(I tried the “find” terminal command to search for it)

Thank you.
