Yes. The error is different. So you are right that one problem was fixed. However, the [proposed solution](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/cannot-precompile-plots-jl-due-to-gr/88230/16) for `ERROR: LoadError: InitError: UndefVarError: `GR\_jll` not defined` did not work, which means I cannot make plots. At the bottom of the error trace you can see the following:

```julia

julia> Base.compilecache(Base.identify_package("GR"))
ERROR: MethodError: no method matching compilecache(::Nothing)

Closest candidates are:
  compilecache(::Base.PkgId)
   @ Base loading.jl:2153
  compilecache(::Base.PkgId, ::IO)
   @ Base loading.jl:2153
  compilecache(::Base.PkgId, ::IO, ::IO)
   @ Base loading.jl:2153
  ...

Stacktrace:
 [1] top-level scope
   @ REPL[6]:1

```

I’m not sure why there is now a method error, and what syntax to use instead.
