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:

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)

`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.
