Hey,

sorry for all the radio silence, I seem to have a cold or minor Covid-19. I did a fresh install on my home machine, which is running Fedora 31. It compiles without error, but I get this error when I try to do a basic plot from the docs:

```julia
ERROR: error compiling common_plot_xyz: error compiling gmt: could not load library "/usr/lib64/libgmt.so"
/usr/lib64/libgmt.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Stacktrace:

```

I also tried tamasgal’s suggestion and got the same error, so it looks like I was on the wrong track…

Very hard unixes. I start to think that you are having an issue of the same type as [this](https://github.com/GenericMappingTools/GMT.jl/issues/298) but that is on a Mac with dmg install and MacOS manages to get into dependencies conflicts. I wonder if you are not also having a dependency conflict.

Yeah, I am at a loss. Let me know if there is anything else you would like me to test out. In the mean time I have a pile of other things to get through, so I am just going to put the wind roses off for a while…
