Once it's built, you shouldn't have to build it again---the build script gets
called only when you upgrade to a new version. In other words, once both
`Pkg.build("Images")` and `Pkg.build("ImageView")` have completed without
error, you should be able to use either package freely. I have the impression
that you may have gotten errors when you first tried to install these packages
that you ignored or didn't tell us about, and that's part of the confusion.
Given that you're still experiencing trouble, I'd say your best course of
action is to remove these packages (Pkg.rm) and reinstall from scratch
(Pkg.add). I'd strongly recommend deleting Cairo and Tk as well as Images and
ImageView.
If you get any build errors, please paste in the complete record of the
output. Also please provide complete details about your platform, the results
of versioninfo(), and how you got Julia (install from distribution packages or
PPA? JuliaStudio? Direct clone from source?). Without this kind of
information, it's very hard to guess what's wrong.
