So I am new to Linux and I was trying to run a Julia program using

 julia transport.jl

However when enter that in terminal I get the following

ERROR: LoadError: LoadError: LoadError: LoadError: LoadError: error compiling init: could not load library "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgobject-2.0.so"
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgobject-2.0.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
while loading /home/david/.julia/v0.4/Tk/src/tkwidget.jl, in expression starting on line 455
while loading /home/david/.julia/v0.4/Tk/src/Tk.jl, in expression starting on line 37
while loading /home/david/.julia/v0.4/Winston/src/tk.jl, in expression starting on line 1
while loading /home/david/.julia/v0.4/Winston/src/Winston.jl, in expression starting on line 2854
while loading /home/david/Documents/School/PDE1/examples/transport.jl, in expression starting on line 2

Any help would help, especially any literature that will introduce me to the Linux environment.

I'm running Ubuntu 16.04.

    How did you install Julia? – edwinksl Aug 29 '17 at 22:29
  • I downloaded the tar, extracted it into its own folder, ran sudo apt-get install julia, then finally created a symbolic link to it. – David Aug 29 '17 at 22:35

    Why did you do that? Running sudo apt install julia would handle the installation fully and you wouldn't need to do anything else. What symlink did you create? That is probably the cause of the problem. Please [edit] your question and add more information... – Zanna Aug 30 '17 at 09:18

Looks like you're missing libglib2.0

You can install it with:

sudo apt-get install libglib2.0
