I see the same error with the manual install version: [Google Colab](https://colab.research.google.com/github/ageron/julia_notebooks/blob/master/Julia_for_Pythonistas.ipynb).

Here’s the line where it fails, in cell 1:

```julia
    echo "Installing Julia package $PKG..."
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH="" julia -e 'using Pkg; pkg"add '$PKG'; precompile;"'

```

Note that you have to delete `&> /dev/null` so the `ccall` error actually shows up.
