Trying to install pycairo I get a missing C lib cairo.h. I already have installed libcairo2-dev and updated pip3. Any ideas on how to fix?
pip install pycairo

As I am using anaconda I tried installing through conda with the command:
conda install -c conda-forge/label/gcc7 pycairo
It checked for several inconsistencies in my base env, but at the end it installed using a "Package Plan" with this contents:
## Package Plan ##
environment location: /home/dbarcene/anaconda3
added / updated specs:

I also checked in a console import cairo and it seems to work. There are certainly some dependencies broken that I haven't figured out yet, but this might serve as a workaround for now.
