Got it... I'm currently wallowing in dependency hell.  Each thing needs another thing... so far I have 
downloaded the following: cairo, pango, gdk-pixbuf, gtk+, atk, libffi and glib along with the previous babl 
and gegl and now it's telling me I will need poppler and pixman as well.  The rabbit hole goes deeper and 
deeper and the passages ever winding.

I just want to make graphics... you know?  This stuff is making me tired and my eyes dry.
