[ESS] ESS with Julia built from source breaks plotting

[Gustavo Lacerda]

hi Vitalie,

I just ran this test again, making sure to run julia-release-basic.

* ESS: FAIL
* regular OSX terminal: SUCCESS
* Emacs shell: FAIL (same error as ESS, see bottom of this email)

My best guess would be that there's something wrong with the Emacs
environment.  Re: reproducibility, see below for the code I ran.  The
errors appear when I call 'file'.

Until yesterday this was failing everywhere, but after I compiled a
new version of Cairo/Pango/gtk2, it started working on the OSX
terminal.  Thus I suspect that Emacs is pointing to the old version.

require("Winston")
using Winston
x = linspace( 0, 3pi, 100 )
c = cos(x)
s = sin(x)
p = FramedPlot()
setattr(p, "title", "title!")
setattr(p, "xlabel", "\Sigma x^2_i")
setattr(p, "ylabel", "\Theta_i")
add(p, FillBetween(x, c, x, s) )
add(p, Curve(x, c, "color", "red") )
add(p, Curve(x, s, "color", "blue") )
file(p, "example1.png")
