+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Cairo library was not found
+
+After following the installation guide above it may happen that you still get
+the following error:
+
+```bash
+no library called "cairo-2" was found
+no library called "cairo" was found
+no library called "libcairo-2" was found
+cannot load library 'libcairo.so.2': error 0x7e.  Additionally, ctypes.util.find_library() did not manage to locate a library called 'libcairo.so.2'
+cannot load library 'libcairo.2.dylib': error 0x7e.  Additionally, ctypes.util.find_library() did not manage to locate a library called 'libcairo.2.dylib'
+cannot load library 'libcairo-2.dll': error 0x7e.  Additionally, ctypes.util.find_library() did not manage to locate a library called 'libcairo-2.dll'
+```
+
+This means that the [`cairosvg`][PyPi CairoSVG] package was installed, but the
+underlying [`cairocffi`][PyPi CairoCFFI] dependency couldn't [find][cffi-dopen]
+the installed library. Depending on the operating system the library lookup
+process is different:
+
+!!! tip
+    Before proceeding remember to fully restart any open Terminal windows, and
+    their parent hosts like IDEs to reload any environmental variables, which
+    were altered during the installation process. This might be the quick fix.
+
+=== ":material-apple: macOS"
+
+    On macOS the library lookup checks inside paths defined in [dyld][osx-dyld].
+    Additionally each library `name` is checked in [three variants][find-library-macOS]
+    with the `libname.dylib`, `name.dylib` and `name.framework/name` format.
+
+    [Homebrew] should set every needed variable to point at the installed
+    library directory, but if that didn't happen, you can use the debug script
+    below to see what paths are looked up.
+
+    A [known workaround][cffi-issue] is to add the Homebrew lib path directly
+    before running MkDocs:
+
+    ```bash
+    export DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/homebrew/lib
+    ```
+
+    View source code of [cairo-lookup-macos.py]
+
+    ```bash title="Python Debug macOS Script"
+    curl "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/squidfunk/mkdocs-material/master/includes/debug/cairo-lookup-macos.py" | python -
+    ```
+
+=== ":fontawesome-brands-windows: Windows"
+
+    On Windows the library lookup checks inside the paths defined in the
+    environmental `PATH` variable. Additionally each library `name` is checked
+    in [two variants][find-library-Windows] with the `name` and `name.dll` format.
+
+    The default installation path of [GTK runtime] is:
+
+    ```powershell
+    C:\Program Files\GTK3-Runtime Win64
+    ```
+
+    and the libraries are in the `<INSTALL-DIR>\lib` directory. Use the debug
+    script below to check if the path is included. If it isn't then:
+
+    1. Press ++windows+r++.
+    2. Run the `SystemPropertiesAdvanced` applet.
+    3. Select "Environmental Variables" at the bottom.
+    4. Add the whole path to the `lib` directory to your `Path` variable.
+    5. Click OK on all open windows to apply changes.
+    6. Fully restart any open Terminal windows and their parent hosts like IDEs.
+
+    ```powershell title="You can also list paths using PowerShell"
+    $env:Path -split ';'
+    ```
+
+    View source code of [cairo-lookup-windows.py]
+
+    ```powershell title="PowerShell - Python Debug Windows Script"
+    (Invoke-WebRequest "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/squidfunk/mkdocs-material/master/includes/debug/cairo-lookup-windows.py").Content | python -
+    ```
+
+=== ":material-linux: Linux"
+
+    On Linux the library lookup can [differ greatly][find-library-Linux] and is
+    dependant from the installed distribution. For tested Ubuntu and Manjaro
+    systems Python runs shell commands to check which libraries are available in
+    [`ldconfig`][ubuntu-ldconfig], in the [`gcc`][ubuntu-gcc]/`cc` compiler, and
+    in [`ld`][ubuntu-ld].
+
+    You can extend the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` environmental variable with an absolute
+    path to a library directory containing `libcairo.so` etc. Run this directly
+    before MkDocs:
+
+    ```bash
+    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/absolute/path/to/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+    ```
+
+    You can also modify the `/etc/ld.so.conf` file.
+
+    The Python script below shows, which function is being run to find installed
+    libraries. You can check the source to find out what specific commands are
+    executed on your system during library lookup.
