Hi everyone,
I’m pleased to announce that Julia 1.0 support just landed on [Gadfly.jl](https://github.com/GiovineItalia/Gadfly.jl) ✨. Gadfly is the native Julia grammar of graphics plotting library that is particularly well suited to 2D statistical plots 📈📊, but can do a lot more. We have a nice gallery of what’s possible here: [http://gadflyjl.org/latest/gallery/geometries.html](http://gadflyjl.org/latest/gallery/geometries.html)
It would be great for everyone who uses Gadfly and wants to help us battle test our 1.0 support to give the master branch a spin. On Julia 1.0 it should be as easy as
```julia
julia> using Pkg
julia> pkg"add Compose#master"
julia> pkg"add Gadfly#master"
```
I hope you enjoy and please report any bugs to [our issues page](https://github.com/GiovineItalia/Gadfly.jl/issues)
Finally, I would like to especially thank @bjarthur, @Mattriks, @nalimilan, @andreasnoack and many others for the herculean effort to get the Gadfly stack working on Julia 1.0.

Shoot, I didn’t realize that Ben already posted about it. Sorry for the spam.

Orly?, because I have errors on trying to compile the thing. Pretty miserable right now.

I just had the same error earlier today, the fix was to add `Compose` at master, i.e. `]add Compose#master`

BTW, an occasion to say a big thanks, Gadfly is so far the only plotting package besides `UnicodePlots` that I’m able to install on my system!!

As this error suggests, the problem is with Compose’s precompilation since the latest tagged version doesn’t support 1.0.
I mention in the OP above that you need **both** Compose and Gadfly master for this to work for now until we tag both packages.

Indeed, but I added Compose#master and then Gadfly#master.
Then I see this error.

That shouldn’t be happening because that error is from an old version of Compose. Maybe it’s still loading the old version somehow?
Can you give the output of `Pkg.status()`?

With the following from `Pkg.status()`
```nohighlight
...
[a81c6b42] Compose v0.6.1+ #master (https://github.com/GiovineItalia/Compose.jl.git)
...
[c91e804a] Gadfly v0.8.0+ #master (https://github.com/GiovineItalia/Gadfly.jl.git)
...
```
I’m getting error regarding `No deps.jl file could be found. Please try running Pkg.build("Arpack").` And `Arpack` won’t build either.

Can you try to run:
```julia
using Pkg
pkg"dev Compose"
pkg"dev Gadfly"
```
It might be that it’s not grabbing the lastest versions of master.

Still the same error with Arpack

It is working fine on my Win10 64bit computer with Julia 1.0. I followed the following steps
1. ] add Compose#master
2. add Gadfly#master
3. build Gadfly
4 .using Gadfly

I’m on x86 linux, maybe that makes a difference

I think this is the bug [FS#59741 : [julia] random julia packages provide precompiled binaries depending on undocumented gcc version](https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/59741) , and solution is probably use the official binary.

That’s almost certainly [https://github.com/JuliaLinearAlgebra/Arpack.jl/issues/5](https://github.com/JuliaLinearAlgebra/Arpack.jl/issues/5) that you’re running into (basically the new `BinaryBuilder` seems to take the _very_ annoying position that Julia packages with binary dependencies should never use OS-provided libraries). That thread has some workarounds; I’m working around it currently by literally copying `libarpack.so.2.0.0` into the appropriate location in the `Arpack.jl` deps folder.

That’s annoying but okay let’s wait for an official fix.
