packages that fail to precompile / install on jupyterhub

[gaelforget]

In principle, we'd like to be able to run any Julia package from within Pluto within JupyterHub within docker run.

Amongst the packages that we have tried this with, issues mostly seem related to external libraries :

• GMT : see fail to precompile / install on jupyterhub GenericMappingTools/GMT.jl#1095
• GLMakie : see below

The errors are not limited to the JuliaClimate/Notebooks build or Pluto.

To reproduce them with the broadly used

• docker run -p 8888:8888 jupyter/datascience-notebook:latest
• once browser window is open, start terminal, Julia, and using GMT

GLMakie :

👉 the error message points to https://github.com/MakieOrg/Makie.jl/tree/master/GLMakie#troubleshooting-opengl which may provide the solution. Can this be added to the Docker build?
