I got this error today after updating my packages:

The version of my GR is:

- GR 0.37.0

I’m still using Julia 0.6.3.

#2

The current version of Plots/GR does not support 0.6. It looks like Plots or GR weren’t properly upper-bounded, as they should not update anymore after running Pkg.update(). You should simply pin GR, StatPlots and Plots to their previous versions.

EDIT: GR does actually in principle support 0.6 also in the newest versions.

#3

Oh, now i can’t remember wich versions they were before… anyway i can get that info? I guess GR was in 0.34, but can’t really remember about StatPlots and Plots.

#4

What versions do you have now?

#5

Oh well, i just rolled GR back to 0.34 and it worked again. Didn’t had to change Plots and StatPlots at all.

Thanks for your help!

@jheinen Just a heads up that GR 0.34+ may need to be lower-bounded on 0.7 so it doesn’t install on 0.6 computers.

Really?

Oh so the current version of GR does support 1.0? Sorry I’ll edit my response above. That’s strange :thinking:

#9

you mean 0.6, right?

#10

Yes.
LOL I’ll just stop posting.
