Julia startup error during initialization of module GMP

New to Julia

With a fresh installation of julia on my mac (running High Sierra version 10.13.6), I am getting a “Error during initialization of module GMP” message on startup. I get the same error when I try to use packages like PyPlot. My homebrew-installed version of gmp is 6.1.2_2.

How do I diagnose what is the cause?

@ararslan’s comment on https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/25273 fixed my problem: just like eric-nok, I had my DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH set to include the MATLAB runtime library. Commenting that out of my bash profile was all that was needed.

How exactly did you do this? I have the same problem, but my bash profile, which I open by running

touch ~/.bash_profile; open ~/.bash_profile

looks like

# >>> conda initialize >>>
# !! Contents within this block are managed by 'conda init' !!
__conda_setup="$('/Users/sebastianmyrback/opt/anaconda3/bin/conda' 'shell.bash' 'hook' 2> /dev/null)"
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
    eval "$__conda_setup"
else
    if [ -f "/Users/sebastianmyrback/opt/anaconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh" ]; then
        . "/Users/sebastianmyrback/opt/anaconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh"
    else
        export PATH="/Users/sebastianmyrback/opt/anaconda3/bin:$PATH"
    fi
fi
unset __conda_setup
# <<< conda initialize <<<

However, I can’t find any “DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH” here.
