`LD_LIBRARY_PATH` isn’t very useful on macOS, that’s a Linux- (or ELF?) specific environment variable, it doesn’t have any effect at all on other operating systems.

Since you’re installing Julia through homebrew instead of using the [official binaries](https://julialang.org/downloads/) (do you know about [juliaup](https://github.com/JuliaLang/juliaup)?), you’re more likely to get help from the homebrew developers.

No, I didn’t know about it. I’ll give it a look, thanks!

The weird thing is that Julia was working just a few weeks ago (same installation, everything), and now it gives this error.

Anyway, I’ll try juliaup and come back.

juliaup ended up working well, didn’t run into the issue again.

I had install Julia 1.9.0-beta4 on Fedora 38 beta. When I run Julia I got the following message

but in my case, I solved installing  
suitesparse64\_.x86\_64 : A collection of sparse matrix libraries (ILP64 version)
