I’m attempting to use julia 0.6 in my home directory, and when I try to install Rmath (for Gadfly, amongst other packages), I get the following error:
```julia
INFO: Directory /home/gsimpson/.julia/v0.6/Rmath/deps/usr/lib already created

This appeared to be the result of a missing package on my Linux Mint installation. This was resolved by ensuring `build-essential` was installed.

Sorry, this is unfortunately a known issue with BinDeps.jl which is used to build it.

We do need a better solution.
