However, configuring fails with

configure: error: Package requirements (poppler-glib >= 0.5.4) were not met:

No package 'poppler-glib' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables POPPLERGLIB_CFLAGS
and POPPLERGLIB_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

The distro I'm using doesn't provide pdf2svg, a dependency for PGFPlots.jl, so I figured I'd try building from source.

Do you have the development libraries installed? On Ubuntu I need to install libcairo-dev and libpoppler-glib-dev then the configure/make should work.

Alternatively, try

gcc `pkg-config --cflags cairo` `pkg-config --cflags poppler-glib` pdf2svg.c `pkg-config --libs cairo` `pkg-config --libs poppler-glib` -o pdf2svg

to build it directly.
