"ERROR: require not defined" when installing Cairo

[sje30]

Apologies in advance if this is obvious, but am just getting started with Julia (encouraged by recent tutorial videos). Cairo won't install for me on my ubuntu box; have done:

$apt-get install libcairo2 libpango1.0-0 tk-dev

and then in Julia:

Pkg.add("Cairo")

Have no idea how to debug this, but "require" seems to have some definitions at leat:

julia> require
# methods for generic function require
require(name::Union(ASCIIString,UTF8String)) at loading.jl:39
require(fname::String) at loading.jl:36
require(f::String,fs::String...) at loading.jl:37

Which version of Julia are you using? Is it a checkout from a recent master?

[StefanKarpinski]

This is probably due to the recent change to evalfile to evaluate inside a temporary module.

Yes, it is: Commit 1ae9a78 2013-04-05 15:07:49

(Sorry, I forgot to include that before).

Yeah, so this is then almost certainly due to the evalfile change that Stefan mentioned, which came in at a099ea3

Now we get a different error:

julia> Pkg.runbuildscript("Cairo")
MESSAGE: Running build script for package Cairo

The new issue (@build_steps not defined) is being tracked in #2768
