Cannot install Cairo packages in Arch Linux

I've install r and cairo library for Arch Linux distribution. But when I install the cairo package I've got following error.

cairogd.c: In function ‘ptr_to_raw’:

cairogd.c:491:18: error: expected expression before ‘!=’ token if (TYPEOF(ptr) != EXTPTRSXP)

cairogd.c: In function ‘raw_to_ptr’: cairogd.c:509:18: error: expected expression before ‘!=’ token if (TYPEOF(ptr) != EXTPTRSXP)

cairogd.c:511:18: error: expected expression before ‘!=’ token if (TYPEOF(raw) != RAWSXP)

I've also install all cairo requirement in Arch Linux. My gcc version is "gcc version 5.2.0 (GCC)"

I've search and googling, and found they just install the freetype2 packages. When I try it, its cannot solve my problem.

Is there anything I can do to solve this problem?

Thank you for your help

This seems to be a bug in freetype2 (see the corresponding bug report in freetype https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?45376 and Cairo https://github.com/s-u/Cairo/issues/13).

Installing freetype2-git from AUR will solve the problem until freetype2 is updated in the main repository.
