Hi

I built an exectuable with

```julia
PackageCompiler.create_app("JuliaPlotting", "/home/christian/trasch/julia-plotting")

```

but when I run it with `/home/christian/trasch/julia-plotting/bin/JuliaPlotting` it spits out the following error:

```julia

I am on Ubuntu 22.04. Am I doing something obviously wrong?

I had this problem with MKL as well. The solution found was to use `include_lazy_artifacts=true` in the create\_app function call.

In your case:

```julia
PackageCompiler.create_app("JuliaPlotting", "/home/christian/trasch/julia-plotting", include_lazy_artifacts=true)

```

This worked for me and should make sure everything gets included, though it can mean the end result is quite large.

I am using Julia 1.7.3 and PackageCompiler 2.0, I am having exactly the same issue. My OS is CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009. Unfortunately, the above solution does not work for me.  
I believe this issue could be related to [Error installing artifact dependency](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/error-installing-artifact-dependency/57961), I have tried both the above solutions, but it doesnt work for me. Please help. Thanks

Having the same on Ubuntu 20.04. None from above helps. If you have found some solution pls let us know.

When [New version: PackageCompiler v2.0.7 by JuliaRegistrator · Pull Request #63599 · JuliaRegistries/General · GitHub](https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General/pull/63599) is merged this should hopefully be fixed by updating to the latest PackageCompiler version.

I am running into the same error when compiling a C++ - Julia helloworld like app with Package Compiler. When I build the application locally I can run it just fine. When I build it in a pipeline I can run it in the pipeline environment but not on my local machine. For mac I could successfully compile a relocatable app, but for both Linux and Windows I get the exact same error:

```julia
C:\Users\itan\Downloads\artifacts\artifacts\build_app\Debug\bin>app.exe
WARNING: @ccallable was already defined for this method name
Hello C++ App!
fatal: error thrown and no exception handler available.

enable_finalizers at gcutils.jl:124

```

I’ve set `include_lazy_artifacts=true` but the error remains the same
