Error in precompiling

[alirezamecheng]

Hello,
I have Windows 10 64 bit O.S. And Julia version 1.1.0 and I get this error.

How can I fix this problem?

I Also have a Linux mint OS which has no problem.

Thank you.

My guess is you don't have the GTK libraries installed.
Did you follow the instructions at https://github.com/JuliaGraphics/Gtk.jl/blob/master/doc/installation.md for if the automatic installation fails?

[alirezamecheng]

if the automatic installation fails?

Yes, it fails.
The manual installation fails too.

I am having the same issue in JuliaPro 1.1.1.1 and Windows 10.

[jonathanBieler]

It did install on appveyor 10 days ago, so there must be a way to get it to work. On my windows machine I can't even install Cairo however...

[tknopp]

@jonathanBieler: What is the regular platform appveyor runs on? I have restarted the latest CI build.

[jonathanBieler]

@tknopp I'm not sure, could be Windows Server 2016 according to this page:

https://www.appveyor.com/docs/windows-images-software/

[tknopp]

Hm, builds are passing.
I am currently more concerned about OSX where travis fails and I can't get it working locally here.

[jonathanBieler]

Cairo has been failing for a long time, Homebrew has been updated a week ago, but it doesn't seem to have solved everything.
