Trying to update my code to make it super cool. Trying to add in Package extensions for some of the plot scripts so I can divorce calculation code from the plotting packages. I have a mix of Plots and Makie.

Any ideas on how to trace down why something will not “precompile”? It seems to be a problem with any extension associated with Plots.

Try running the following and report the errors.

```julia
using Pkg
Pkg.precompile(strict=true)

```
