[Lazarus] Can't compile Lazarus on Linux Mint 15

[Reimar Grabowski]

Addition:

AFAICS cairo.pp links against libcairo.so.2. The not found symbols (cairo_gobject_whatever) are simply not defined in that file.

user at computer:~/pascal/fpc$ objdump -tT /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcairo.so.2|grep -iIHn 'cairo_gobject'
user at computer:~/pascal/fpc$ 

They are defined in libcairo-gobject.so.2 from package libcairo-gobject2:

So it makes sense that the linking fails.
