ImageView gives errors

General Usage

Hi,

I recently upgraded to Julia 1.0.1 from 0.6.
Now I have added Images package but on running:
using ImageView
on the terminal I am getting this error:

[ Info: Precompiling ImageView [86fae568-95e7-573e-a6b2-d8a6b900c9ef]

Any suggestions please?

I also got errors, during add ImageView
julia 1.0.0, win 7 (x86_64-w64-mingw32)

Error building Cairo (v0.5.6)
WinRPM.RPM failed to satisfy pangocairo
Error building Gtk (v0.16.4)
WinRPM.RPM failed to satisfy gtk

using ImageView gives similar errors

could not load library “libgobject-2.0-0”
failed to precompile gtk
failed to precompile ImageView

These are Gtk.jl and/or Cairo.jl errors, not ImageView errors. You might consider filing an issue in those repositories.

Note that searching Gtk.jl issues for ‘could not load library “libgtk-3”’ yields quite a few hits (both open and closed), so you may want to read through them and see if any apply to your platform(s). Likewise for the Cairo error.

just a comment here,

isnt’t correct. In most cases it’s a problem in the providers WinRPM and/or Homebrew

Have just got exact same error as you. I suppose it’s a macOS error?
Seems related to issue 271, which is caused by a precompiling error in Cairo. If you try to Pkg.build(“Cairo”) you will experience the same error.
