C++ linking error: 'libcairo.so: undefined reference to FT_Get_Var_Blend_Coordinates'

I'm trying to build a C++ project via CLion and have been unable to get past this error in the linking process:

/lib/../lib64/libcairo.so: undefined reference to `FT_Get_Var_Blend_Coordinates'

I'm wondering if anyone knows what the source of this issue could be - I've found a few similar questions in forums that were solved by the removal of a problematic package, but I have none of the aforementioned packages installed. The version of cairo is cairo-1.15.12-4.el7.x86_64
