Thanks for reporting. I finally also got a brand new M2, and funnily, I had no problems with Cairo. I downloaded and ran your example with the steps you outlined, everything builds successfully. Here's the output: squidfunk@squidfunk Downloads/example $ python -m venv venv

DEPRECATION: cairocffi is being installed using the legacy 'setup.py install' method, because it does not have a 'pyproject.toml' and the 'wheel' package is not installed. pip 23.1 will enforce this behaviour change. A possible replacement is to enable the '--use-pep517' option. Discussion can be found at https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8559

@bigmike36c did you ever find the cause of this? I am setting a new M1 Mac and running into same issue. |

No, unfortunately I was never able to resolve this issue on my Mac. |

@bigmike36c and @bilal-fazlani - After installing cairo with Homebrew, I had to manually copy the library to a location in my path:

I wonder however, why Homebrew didn't do that when you installed it. Was there some kind of error message? |

I'm successfully running libcairo on my M2. Maybe the M3 is still too new? I'm not using the workaround. However, I'm not using Poetry but good ol' pip, which could be related. |

Just got the same issue as above today on my Mac M1. Also using pip. Resolved via the same workaround. Maybe the cairo install via brew does not really "install" it but just provides the |
@squidfunk Are you by chance using a Homebrew version of Python? I've been looking into this issue for the past couple of hours and have found that Homebrew patches the Python source code to find Homebrew-installed libraries properly, whereas if you use Python installed any other way it does not have this patch. Reproduced with your troubleshooting script, you can see the difference in paths searched: System Pythonasdf-installed Python (my main install)Homebrew PythonFor my needs, explicitly using the Homebrew Python for |
Yes, I'm using the Homebrew version of Python. Thanks for sharing more intel on this problem, we should definitely add this to our documentation (cc @katharinalisalin) |

I had this issue too (MBP3), and the suggested workaround didn't work, it kept trying to find the files in a diff. path. I am using my solution was to symlink the curr project directory & where the files were. |

Context
I'm running mkdocs locally on my M1 mac and using poetry to manage my virtual environment. The same issue occurs if you use pip.
Bug description
To use the social plugin, mkdocs requires installing pillow and cairosvg. Additionally, Cairo Graphics and its dependencies must be installed as stated in the docs. I'm using an M1 mac so I used the following command:
These libraries installed without issue. However, upon running
mkdocs serveI receive the following error:It appears to be looking for these libraries inside of the python installation instead of inside the homebrew folder. My current workaround is to use the following environment variable as mentioned in this issue:
