Can't install Gadfly - unsatisfiable requirements detected

klaff · March 22, 2019, 3:15pm

Hi,

[Edit: It seems that I just needed to do a pkg> update prior to adding the package. Now off to read about why …]

I’m new to Julia and am having trouble installing Gadfly, specifically this happens when I try to add the package:

(v1.1) pkg> add Gadfly

@klaff even after doing update when in Pkg I can’t add Gadfly. Do you know what is the issue?

This is the output I get

I have DataArrays installed already.

klaff · April 28, 2019, 6:56pm

Despite my comment above I didn’t do much more research, so I don’t know how to figure out where the conflicting requirements are coming from.

Mattriks · April 28, 2019, 8:34pm

DataArrays.jl is a deprecated package, and isn’t a requirement of the current version of Gadfly: https://github.com/GiovineItalia/Gadfly.jl/blob/master/Project.toml.
So try removing DataArrays.

roi.holtzman · April 29, 2019, 6:50am

Thanks, I’ve removed DataArrays but still I cannot add Gadfly. I did update after removing DataArrays, but I still get the same error.

Mattriks · April 29, 2019, 7:02am

Does add Gadfly#master work?
If not, can you list your Pkg status.

roi.holtzman · April 29, 2019, 9:32am

It does something, but I still get some errors:

Ajaychat3 · April 29, 2019, 9:44am

I had a similar problem installing StatsBase and it was due to Distributions v0.19 package.

Can you try uninstalling Distributions and then install Gadfly? If this does not work then also uninstall StatsBase and try.

kristoffer.carlsson · April 29, 2019, 9:48am

Try add StatsBase Gadfly.

Mattriks · April 29, 2019, 10:17am

or add StatsBase@0.29

The explanation (as I understand it) is that if you have a package B (e.g. StatsBase) installed independently in your environment that package A (e.g. Gadfly) depends on, then package B in your environment needs to match package A’s Project.toml. @kristoffer.carlsson might want to elaborate.

kristoffer.carlsson · April 29, 2019, 11:04am

https://github.com/JuliaLang/Pkg.jl/issues/110 says it all pretty much.

roi.holtzman · April 29, 2019, 12:32pm

@kristoffer.carlsson Trying add StatsBase Gadfly, it seems that it needs DataArrays

Is there a way to bypass it?

Mattriks · April 29, 2019, 2:03pm

Reading the posts above, you need to downgrade 2 packages in your environment (Distributions and StatsBase) to the same versions as in Gadfly’s Project.toml. Try add Distributions@0.18 first.

If that doesn’t work, maybe edit the Project.toml file in your v1.1 environment, so that it contains the needed [compats] for Distributions and StatsBase, and then instantiate the Project.toml in a (clean) v1.1 folder. See Pkg docs for more info.

roi.holtzman · April 29, 2019, 2:17pm

@Mattriks Perfect! Installing Distributions@0.18 and add StatsBase@0.29 works like a charm. Now add Gadfly runs ok. Thanks!

wgfoote · May 22, 2020, 5:23pm

I tried all of the above recommendations and Gadfly still has unsatisfiable requirements detected. What changed since 2019? Thanks.

Mattriks · May 22, 2020, 5:48pm

Please paste your errors, after reading this help psa.

NicholasWMRitchie · May 26, 2020, 2:50pm

Gadfly is my favorite 2D plotting package however, there is something odd about Gadfly’s interaction with the package manager. I haven’t been able to figure out why. However, some of the other comments sound familiar to me. The interaction with DataArrays being one.

If I don’t pin my version of Gadfly to the latest (v1.2.1) then Gadfly is sometimes (~30% of the time) downgraded by the package manager to a 2 year old version (0.8 ish) which installs a non-compiling version of DataArrays. Everything goes downhill from there. Before I started pinning Gadfly to the latest revision, I’d dread ] update as I’d never know what was going to happen once the cascade of downgrades started.
