I had a quick glance at your link:
http://blog.fekw.de/2008/05/30/kubuntu-804-64bit-essential-apps-install-guide/5/

Since that gives the complete installation steps and it worked for you I can't 
help you.  	*<[:oD
I also can't know what you did wrong the previous time and wether my strategy 
would have worked.

I belive they are renaming a folder, not a file.

It  reads as if they provided a dummy  libgcc_s.so.1 file that cairo wouldn't 
even see??? or cairo sees first the eponyme folder and therefore fails to see 
the file with the same name... something clumsy about this.
