I you don’t know which to choose you may start with the command:

```julia
$ locate libstdc++.so.6

```

Afterwards, you start julia as described above, in my case “ubuntu 22.04” the right one was:

```julia
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 julia

```

After the command:

```julia
import Pkg; Pkg.precompile()

```

GLMakie was also _ **one time** _ operational inside VScode, but it turns out this is not reproducible on my machine.  
Now comes the question, what do I need to add to my “startup.jl”, to enable GLMakie inside VScode.
