To reply to myself [GR build problems: "installation is incomplete" - #26 by mkitti](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/gr-build-problems-installation-is-incomplete/58764/26) had the answer (somewhat hidden in the comment text) it was to use the explicit version providing `BinaryBuilder` as in:

```julia
pkg> add GR@0.57

```
