Julia-0.4 drawing to png backend fails. #651

I am trying to use the latest version of Gadfly on Juli-0.4 (Version 0.4.0-dev+6307 (2015-07-27 22:18 UTC))

The command

draw(PNG("test.png",6inch,6inch),m)

throws the following error:

ERROR: Cairo must be installed to use the PNG backend.
 in PNG at /home/arora/.julia/v0.4/Compose/src/Compose.jl:137

Looks like it cannot find Cairo, though I already have it installed.

Julia-0.4 is not the default Julia on my system and I use it by giving the full path to the installation src directory. Is the reason for this error ?

thanks

Looks like the error is similar to #637 but I didn't get any warnings from Cairo and it loads just fine. I did get a bunch of warnings while I loaded Gadfly.

If you update to a more recent julia, most/all of those ambiguity warnings should have been fixed by JuliaLang/julia#12370

Wow ! Switching to the latest version of Julia and recompiling Gadfly (via Base.compile) fixes everything.. I am loving 0.4

Came here to report that this issue re-appeared in the v0.4 RC, but it turns out I was caught by a precompilation gotcha I didn't expect; within a REPL session, using Gadfly even after e.g. Pkg.checkout("Gadfly") does not trigger recompilation...
Unrelated note (I know the RC is brand new) you may want to add a notice somewhere that for v0.4 support, the latest Gadfly (and Compose?) are required, it seems.
Thanks for the excellent package
