On debian that file is part of libcairo2-dev
If jhbuild is trying to build cairo itself (likely), then this is
something of a red herring.  The real problem was likely back when
jhbuild configured cairo.  Something was missing at that point, and
it disabled the X backend.  Try wiping your jhbuild checkout and
watch the log closely as cairo is configuring.
