Hello everyone. I met a problem when install Plots.jl package. The problem is I always failed to precompile a few things. I tried to look it up, but the solution of the past post is not clear enough for me, so I just start this new one. Anyways, here is the error:
(@v1.11) pkg> add Plots

16 dependencies errored.
For a report of the errors see `julia> err`. To retry use `pkg> precompile`
Based on the replies in other posts, I also check the status of my package and versioninfo() :
But yeah I’d say first fix those old versions. From your pkg prompt I guess you are dumping all your packages into the default environment, leading to version conflicts. Don’t do that, work in project specific environments instead.
For a quick check on whether that’s the issue do ] activate --temp and add Plots there

I tried this ] activate --temp, but error remains.
Also I don’t update those packages, because I see this:
Info Packages marked with ⌃ and ⌅ have new versions available. Those with ⌃ may be upgradable, but those with ⌅ are restricted by compatibility constraints from upgrading.
This shows that the chain of dynamic libraries is broken on your system. (g_dir_unref should be resolved by another library in the same artifact directory, but some older version of the library has presumably been loaded instead.)
Do you have LD_LIBRARY_PATH or something similar in your environment variables?
