Greetings

Dunno as to the 'proper' location for this request.
Also dunno as to the minutae on the etiquette so please just beat me somewhat if I overstep. (Remember - - - - beatings will continue until morale improves - - - - LOL!)

Following is where I'm at in the install (on Debian testing running using open source video drivers (Nouveau) on a multi-monitor system (if that might make a difference).

shows that I do have some of the cairo packages installed.

I needed to install quite a number of new packages and many with their -dev counterparts to get to this point.
Likely missing something simple but I don't know what (sorry!).

Am suggestions on how to break the logjam?

TIA
