I even tried removing these files:

```julia
$ rm -rf .pixi/envs/default/build_env.sh 
$ rm -rf .pixi/envs/default/conda-meta 
$ rm -rf .pixi/envs/default/conda_build.sh

```

I don’t know exactly how pixi works, but these were the only files that had a lot of environment variables, and thought I’d try to delete them. But I still get an error:

```julia
╭─ ~/g/pixi-test 
╰ rm -rf .pixi/envs/default/build_env.sh .pixi/envs/default/conda-meta .pixi/envs/default/conda_build.sh

╭─ ~/g/pixi-test 
╰ ./.pixi/envs/default/bin/julia --project -e "using Pkg; Pkg.precompile()"
Precompiling project...

  ✗ LinearSolve → LinearSolveRecursiveArrayToolsExt

```
