Plots, InitError GR_jll not defined

[hilbertstraum]

Hi, im new to Julia and wanted to try out some plotting with the Plots-Package. Did run into similar problems as:

Plots and GR_jll is not working and fails to precompile

Try the solution I found here: Basically, execute the following and then restart Julia: Base.compilecache(Base.identify_package("GR"))

or:

Plots, InitError: UndefVarError: GR_jll not defined

Interesting. So if ENV[“GRDIR”] is set to a local build, import GR_jll will throw an error? Is that still the case now that we are not automatically loading any shared libraries via GR_jll due to using dont_dlopen=true in the recipe? @jheinen, could you test if we still need that try - catch block in your environment? If GR_jll still throws an error on import, I wonder it would make sense to develop a placeholder GR_jll that is just empty? I still wonder if we can insert something under if …

but the solution did not work out for me. I got the

GR.plot(rand(10))

to work, but “using Plots” still yields this error:
ERROR: LoadError: InitError: UndefVarError: GR_jll not defined

Maybe someone has another idea what to do.
