struggling to get prewikka installed on RHE 5

HI Folks

I have finally got back to working on this again.

Fundamental issue with getting prewikka installed on RHE5 is that RHE5 only has python2.4.x installed and bits of prewikka need 2.5 at least.

I installed 2.5 in /usr/local and then reinstalled all the need packages from source until I hit cairo which appears to need python 2.6.  Start again and after much mucking around I have installed 2.6 and various modules in /usr/local/....

I am using the cgi version as I have not yet figured out how to get mod_python to use the 2.6 version...

Anyway -- invoking the .cgi from the command line gives:

[rful011@kaka ~]$ /usr/share/prewikka/cgi-bin/prewikka.cgi
/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/prewikka/Auth.py:21: DeprecationWarning: the md5 module is deprecated; use hashlib instead
  import md5

    from _cairo import *
ImportError: /usr/local/lib/libcairo.so.2: undefined symbol: pixman_region32_rectangles


I have looked through the source of pixman and can't find pixman_region32_rectangles although there are a bunch of references to it.  

gooogling on pixman_region32_rectangles turns up one other person with the same problem from April but no answers.

Can someone tell me which versions of cairo and pixman are know to work?

I hate RHE!
