Can you share the output of:

using Pkg
Pkg.status()

?
And the output of

versioninfo()

?

Now I might have figured out what the problem is. It could be because I used a portable version of Julia 1.10. When I used another installation version of 1.11, everything worked fine.

You deleted the LD_LIBRARY_PATH in your reply, but it could also be the reason for your failure. You could try to set it to an empty string.

Ah, I think it’s too lengthy. What is this for? I see that it involves many paths. If it is set to be empty, will it cause any bad consequences?

When loading shared libraries, the OS looks in the folders in this path first. The libraries Julia needs are, for example, in this directory:

/.julia/juliaup/julia-1.10.10+0.x64.linux.gnu/lib/julia

If the same libraries are - in a slightly different version - in any of the folders in
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, those are loaded instead of the official Julia libraries. This usually results in a crash.

This variable may be required for other command-line applications you are using. If so, you should set it only for these applications and delete it before starting Julia.

It makes sense. Thank you very much.

But I checked the paths in LD_LIBRARY_PATH carefully and didn’t find any julia related path.
