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
