[R] [FORGED] Error installing the package "Cairo"

[Sandeep Mallya]

I tried the command below

sudo yum install cairo-devel.x86_64

Package cairo-devel-1.8.8-6.el6_6.x86_64 already installed and latest
version
Nothing to do

I have also tried installing libpng-devel

Still the error persists.

Thanks,
Sandeep
