My students are still getting the error reported here: [image] Help! Plots not loading General Usage I’m having trouble with the GR backend for Plots using Plots [ Info: Precompiling Plots [91a5bcdd-55d7-5caf-9e0b-520d859cae80] Your GR installation is incomplete. Rerun …

[image] compleat: Thanks for your work on this. Is it possible to include the suggestion above about the error message - that in the case of the ‘incomplete build’ issue (which gave rise to this thread) the error message would include the suggestion to set GRDIR to “” If it still cannot recov…

It’s being actively developed, and there are moving pieces. The situation today is different that it was two weeks ago. Part of the current situation is the package is transitioning to using BinaryBuilder provided binaries. We do have a way of version pinning it to make it work as some have describ…

My hunch is that this is the result of a readonly package depot, and thus the deps/deps.jl file isn’t being created. Did the build step error? 1.6’s Preferences.jl should help packages avoid this issue .

Looking closely at what is happening with the latest GR, these constants are getting set during the first precompilation: https://github.com/jheinen/GR.jl/blob/master/src/GR.jl#L13-L32 If depsfile did not exist when the package was compiled, but now exists, the package might not know since it has …

Thanks @mkitti for clearifying this. From several sides I have been asked for a BinaryBuilder integration. Unfortunately I cannot remove the “old” installation mechanisms. Besides the previous method, there are also many users who prefer a single GR installation for different languages (C, Python, …

I’ve got a PR on the way. It’s a bit heavy handed though because it changes the library constants to constant Refs. https://github.com/jheinen/GR.jl/pull/386 One trick is I used is to do touch(pathof(GR)) in order to force GR.jl to recompile after rebuilding it.

[image] mkitti: The gist of the extra information I added is that you then need to do: julia> ENV["GRDIR"] = "" "" (@v1.6) pkg> build GR I remember now… When I had this problem before (about 6 months ago), after searching for several days, I finally came upon this solution, and it worked br…

To switch to Plotly backend in a transparent way, just add the following to your .julia/config/startup.jl ENV["PLOTS_DEFAULT_BACKEND"] = "pyplot"

Thanks Carsten for sharing this, which is very useful! We also use jupyter for teaching and most problems are related to the installation of Conda + IJulia. For some students we could narrow it down to the presence of special characters in the user name ( https://github.com/JuliaPy/Conda.jl/issues/19…

No, I don’t think we’ve run into the umlaut problem often (at all?). I think that umlauts are not super common in German names and also that (French) accents and such are leading to issues more often than plain umlauts. But of course, we could have just been lucky. The vast majority of issues that …
