Hello I just downloaded and compiled Cinder on Ubuntu 18.x. Most of the programs in the samples directory compile and run except the Cairo-based ones it seems. Did some searching around on the forums, etc. but didn’t see the solution. Am I missing something. I went through the guides and followed the Linux installation instructions. Thank you!
