Did you try using a clean environment?
( type ] activate --temp in the REPL to create a temporary environment and then add the package again)

I have had weird precompile errors before but they were always fixed by updating/ reinstalling the environment.

I am trying to use Makie in a project so using a clean environment won’t solve my problem.

I realize this, but as a first diagnosis it is worth to see if the problem still remains. If it is gone in a clean environment one can look at how to fix the environment. If it is not gone it seems to be more complicated and might be due to a package bug or something.

Sometimes deleting Julia’s compilation cache also helps with these things, you could try just deleting the folder for StaticArrays first as that’s where it errors.
