Hello,

Wondering if someone could help me with this. For some reason, GLM stopped working (I guess I had recently added the MD5 package which might have caused a conflict, but not really sure.)

But now I’m seeing this error, when trying to add the GLM package (I started from scratch with a new julia installation referencing a new julia package directory to try to deconvolute the issue). So far, it was the only package I had added to this new installation.

I’m seeing this error for this package

For reference, I have several Julia scripts running in production, so it’s not the julia installation in general, since it appears fine for other packages.

```julia
(v1.3) pkg> add GLM
  Updating registry at `/local/PKG/1.3/registries/General`
  Updating git-repo `https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General.git`
 Resolving package versions...
ERROR: Unable to automatically install 'OpenBLAS' from '/local/PKG/1.3/packages/OpenBLAS_jll/cl4ZS/Artifacts.toml

```

What is the next thing I should do to try to get this installed?

This is a redhat linux installation

I’ve resolved this issue myself. For reference it looks like the LD\_LIBRARY\_PATH setting I had in my environment file was causing a problem. By unsetting the variable before starting Julia, it installed correctly.

it’s simply done from the unix command line before starting Julia

```julia
unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH

```
