From this thread: [Can't install Plots on julia-1.6.0 - #14 by mkitti](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/cant-install-plots-on-julia-1-6-0/59360/14)

It seems that that kind of error may be solved by emptying the LD\_LIBRARY\_PATH variable before running Julia:

```julia
% LD_LIBRARY_PATH=""

```

I just tested this in a pretty old machine (it runs the 3.10 kernel still), and Plots installed fine. Does that solves your issue?

(ps: that OS is Red Hat Enterprise Linux v7.2 - from 2014).
