Hi Julia users,

I was following instructions to install Julia, but encountered the following issue related to dyld. I searched elsewhere online but to no avail. Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks in advance!

Looks like you have something setting `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` (or one of it’s friends). Unset that and you should be fine.
