Hi Julio, this is almost certainly a bug in Cairo; I don't know the windows libraries well enough to have an opinion on a workaround, unfortunately. Can you please file the bug in Cairo's bug tracker? It's at
<https://github.com/JuliaLang/Cairo.jl/issues> The main Julia documentation describes the package manager in detail: <http://julia.readthedocs.org/en/release-0.3/manual/packages/> Pkg.rm("Cairo") will uninstall the Cairo package. Cairo is sometimes a soft dependency and you may be able to follow the rest of the tutorial even though it didn't install correctly.
