Julia_setup() not working with R 4.5.1 and Julia 1.11.6

My operating system is Ubuntu 24.04.

To ensure I had the most recent version of the R package “JuliaCall”, I installed “JuliaCall” from github as follows:

devtools::install_github(“JuliaInterop/JuliaCall”)

The problem is that running julia_setup() produces a segmentation fault. For example:

library(JuliaCall)
julia_setup(rebuild=TRUE)
Julia version 1.11.6 at location /home/robert/.julia/juliaup/julia-1.11.6+0.x64.linux.gnu/bin will be used.
Loading setup script for JuliaCall…
Finish loading setup script for JuliaCall.
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Any help is much appreciated!
