Can't install package Cairo on MacOSX

[Glenn Fulford]

Hi,

I get the following error when I try to add package Cairo, Pkg.add("Cairo"), on mac osx, while trying to get the Winston plot package working.

I have checked and I do have xz installed (using homebrew) and
unxz -c /Users/fulford/.julia/Cairo/deps/downloads/glib-2.34.3.tar.xz
appears to work from the command line, so I am not sure what is wrong?

I have PyCall working now, so I am not too worried, but I thought people might like to know about this before the 0.2 release.

I also get the exact same issue on my mac. I think it may be because the startup script sets it's own PATH.

[Elliot Saba]

Yes, this is likely because of that.  Try editing the `PATH=...` line in the script file contained inside of the .app file

[Glenn Fulford]

OK, thanks,

Manually adding 'usr/local/bin to the command
do script ("exec bash -c \"PATH='/usr/local/bin:{ROOT}/julia/bin:${

fixed this problem. But I am not sure why it is not picking this up in .bash_profile, I think it has something to do with the way macosx deals with interactive shells (on non login shells>) ?

Pkg.add("Cairo") now gets past the unxz problem, but further errors occur.

Should I make this an issue? I don't want to put something there if I have just been doing something stupid (I am just beginning with julia). However, I like the Julia language and would like to help out, if possible.

all unixes do not execute the `.profile` customization script for non-login shells. you can add additional configuration to your `.bashrc` or your `.juliarc.jl` file instead.

@loladiro, shouldn't it be picking up the OSX binaries that I see in the dependencies list?

[Keno Fischer]

I'm pretty sure the version we're shipping is broken.

Not sure this is helpful (as it's not OSX), but for what it's worth I installed Cairo earlier today, on Linux, and it worked fine (after I installed gettext-tools).
