Posted, but for some reason the post disappeared as I am new to the group.
Ran BinDep.debug("Cairo") --nice feature!--to see if I could figure out
more.
It suggests that dependencies that failed to build aren't needed on my
platform (which makes on wonder why any attempt to build them occurred...).
Here is the output:
*julia> **BinDeps.debug("Cairo")*
*INFO: Reading build script...*
The package declares 1 dependencies.

But, when I run using Cairo, it fails to precompile:
*julia> **using Cairo*

*The reason I want Cairo is for Gadfly. This is just one of several Gadfly
dependencies that fail to build. In my other post I pointed out that this
seems to become a serious general problem for the Julia community. The
deep dependency stacks of packages lead to many failures that are hard to
debug leading to a general impression of fragility. Since there is not any
reasonable "native" graphics package for Julia (though PyPlot works quite
well), we are thus compelled to the deep dependency stacks. So,
that problem needs to be solved. But, perhaps a higher priority is native
graphics.*
