Fail to precompile Plots

ShenXin · March 5, 2024, 1:37pm

Hi, I’m new to Julia. The follwing question fails me to use Plots.jl. I completely have no idea what’s the error. Part of the error is listed below.

ERROR: Failed to precompile Plots [91a5bcdd-55d7-5caf-9e0b-520d859cae80] to “C:\Users\dell\.julia\compiled\v1.9\Plots\jl_4598.tmp”.

Stacktrace:

What is the output of

versioninfo()

?
And what is the output of:

using Pkg
Pkg.status()

?

We could really use as much of the error as possible to diagnose your situation.

Are you logging in with the username ‘dell’ here?
Perhaps has someone set up a system with a shared account which is named ‘dell’ ?

‘dell’ is my account. It’s the default name when I got the computer.

johnh · March 6, 2024, 11:15am

Thankyou. I worked for Dell building HPC systems. I did not know we shipped laptops with the default acccount ‘dell’.

mike.ingold · March 6, 2024, 4:40pm

This tells us that you’ve got only 3 packages installed in your current environment but that two of them are currently being held back from updates for some reason, though those versions only appear to be about 6 months old at this point, so probably aren’t to blame here.

mike.ingold · March 6, 2024, 4:44pm

Looks like you’re running the 32-bit (i686) version of Julia on a fairly-recent CPU. Are you able to install the 64-bit (x86-64) version?
