This happens to me too, exactly the same error. As you can see, the problem is in the package "DataArrays", but by looking at https://github.com/JuliaStats/DataArrays.jl/issues/306 it seems that DataArrays should not be used anymore... waiting to get an answer from the devs!

Works for me - I'm on Gadfly#master: https://discourse.julialang.org/t/julia-1-0-support-just-landed-on-gadfly-master/14978 Also check that you have Compose 0.7. Compose 0.7 was tagged recently, so you don't need to be on Compose#master.

[fabmazz]

I do have Compose 0.7.0 installed (done automatically by the package manager with the tags).

thank you a lot

We'll be tagging a new release for Gadfly in the near future so this extra step won't be necessary.
