Graph compile issue

General Usage
1

I’m suddenly unable to graph without getting an error. when I try re-compiling GR.

When I run:

using Pkg; Pkg.build("GR")

I get:

 Building GR → `~/.julia/scratchspaces/44cfe95a-1eb2-52ea-b672-e2afdf69b78f/c98aea696662d09e215ef7cda5296024a9646c75/build.log`

Could you run this and report the output?

using InteractiveUtils
versioninfo()
using Pkg
pkg"status -m"
get(ENV, "LD_LIBRARY_PATH", "not set")
get(ENV, "DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH", "not set")

Already my sense is that the version of GR you are using is a bit old.

Also try:

  1. The first troubleshooting step is to force GR to rebuild. This should reset GR to using GR_jll.

    ENV["JULIA_DEBUG"] = "GR" # Turn on debug statements    for the GR package
ENV["GRDIR"] = "" # Force GR to rebuild from default settings
import Pkg; Pkg.build("GR")
using GR

    Check the generated build.log for errors.

  2. The second step is try binaries from GR tarballs which are provided directly by the GR developers as self-contained distributions for selected platforms - independent of the programming language

    ENV["JULIA_DEBUG"] = "GR" # Turn on debug statements for the GR package
ENV["GRDIR"] = ""
ENV["JULIA_GR_PROVIDER"] = "GR"
# ENV["JULIA_GR_PROVIDER"] = "BinaryBuilder" # Alternatively, uncomment this
import Pkg; Pkg.build("GR")
using GR

  3. There might be an issue with GR_jll. Check if it can be loaded.

    import Pkg; Pkg.add("GR_jll")
using GR_jll
ccall( (:gr_initgr, "libGR",), Nothing, () )

running this fixed it!
