Cannot compile Gadfly on Linux

[erezsh]

I tried compiling the Gadfly package on fresh installs of both Fedora and Ubuntu, and both failed with the same error.

That happens with either ]add Gadfly or ]add Gadfly#master (doesn't seem to matter)

julia> import Gadfly
[ Info: Precompiling Gadfly [c91e804a-d5a3-530f-b6f0-dfbca275c004]

It failed to build both on Julia 1.1 and Julia 1.2

(In this instance I ran Julia as root, but it also happens when installed and used by a regular user)

Also, the file exists, of course:

Closing because it's not specific to Gadfly, turns out this error happens when Julia runs out of memory, and Gadfly just happens to require >1GB to compile
