I've run into this problem recently trying to build Cairo from source (on a machine with no internet access)
I wasn't sure how to proceed in this case using Pkg module - so built Cairo externally in a custom location. It took me a while to figure out there is a hardcoded 'load dependencies' search location in deps.jl which points to: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/... It expects libraries to be placed in a system default, but quite specific location. So at this point I'm wondering if there any way I can modify the search path on a (per-module) basis? Ideally I'd like to use Pkg functionality - if possible The only option which come to my mind (without editing deps.jl) is to set $LD_LIBRARY_PATH before starting julia? Is there any better way to control that? Thanks, kuba
