Judging from the error message, you wrote "sudo apt-get install igraph-python" 
and not "sudo apt-get install python-igraph".

Why not "sudo apt-get install python-cairo"? No need to bother with compiling 
pycairo from source; Ubuntu provides a binary package.

You haven't installed a C compiler on your machine so pip cannot compile 
igraph. Install a C compiler if you really want to compile python-igraph using 
pip, but as mentioned above, no need to do that, just make sure you try to 
install "python-igraph" and not "igraph-python".
