Help! Every time i try using Julia’s package help in the REPL, i.e. “]”, i get a segmentation error, and julia quits. Here is the output from versioninfo():

I was having a similar issue a while ago (still version 1.11, but it might have been 1.11.2).

Should you have LD_LIBRARY_PATH set? Try doing unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH on the command line before running again. I think that is what fixed my situation (I may have also uninstalled and reinstalled Julia).

If that works, make sure you aren’t setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH in your bashrc so the problem doesn’t happen in the future.

Spencer,

Thank you for that suggestion, it seems to work well.
