When PNG import fails for Cairo, it’s typically due to issues with the library configuration at and t internet plan or dependencies. I’ve found that ensuring Cairo has proper support for PNG libraries, like libpng, and verifying the installation can resolve most problems. Debugging with error logs often helps pinpoint missing components or incompatible versions.
