You’ve posted this [here](https://github.com/JuliaImages/ImageView.jl/issues/158) and [here](https://github.com/JuliaGraphics/Gtk.jl/issues/378) also. In the first one I asked a question, and I’m waiting with bated breath for the answer.

Thank you so much! @tim.holy Sorry for the late reply! I logged a remote Linux server from the Window 7 laptop, not as a super user. This should be the problem, which cause Gtk.jl problems.  
I found that the image can be shown automatically in IJulia, and no need to install ImageView.jl. The package Images.jl is extremely useful and convenient. Thanks for your great work! I have also replied on the Issue-report page of the two mentioned packages. Regards!
