Excuse my ignorance just realized you already using a Nativeboost CogVM , so please ignore my last comment. However in case you dont know it you still need to load the configuration of nativeboost so it loads all the library of nativeboost that Athens rely on.

I am not going to pretend that I am that familiar with Athens code yet, though I try to understand it slow but...

Are you sure you are using a Nativeboost CogVM ? I am not even sure Athens suppose to work without it . It means you will need CogVM with Nativeboost plugin (compiled against CogVM) and the Nativeboost packages. Correct me If I am wrong here, my knowledge on these things is still bare bone basic.

Hi Sebastian and Esteban,

Thanks for replying. I checked and I already have the libcairo2
installed. I actually can see Roassal working with Cairo in VW so I
guess that's ok. I use a 32bits Ubuntu.

But I still can't make it work :( This error in particular is because
the connection with cairo?

Thanks,
Vanessa.
