I’m new to Julia, only one week experience. Tried to install the Gtk.jl package, but when I run build it finds missing dependencies, prompts for the admin password, lists the items it needs, but aborts at the system prompt. Eventually, I tried installing the depencies outside julia - no problem, then re-ran Pkg.build and all is now well.
I’m running Linux Mint 18 here.
Is this a known problem?

It’s really hard to say without more detail. Do you have any record of what the error messages were?

I would normally hit return to continue, but as this was being run under julia there
was no opportunity to respond. I presume it just got a null or invalid input and gave up.
