OK. Solved by the usual expedient of deleting .julia and starting over.
Not clear always what happens, but if you try to do too much to a new
install of Julia (0.4.0-rc4 in this case) it just hasn't settled down.
I quickly got PyPlot and all dependencies and Gadfly and some of its
dependencies installed. Now I just need to test with pdf output to see if
Cairo got installed.
Call it resolved and no new information that hasn't been reported many
times before.
BTW, loving Julia. I will post a benchmark of a machine learning
simulation with Python, Cython, Pypy, Python/Numba, Nim (compiled).
Great syntax all 'round. Speed without fussing. Library support will
happen.
