Oh! That works. So I just commented out the entire `export LD_LIBRARY_PATH` from my `bashrc` file. Not sure why I had it in there (maybe for some other program? will have to see what breaks).

Okay, so when `LD_LIBRARY_PATH = ""` , and I type in `julia`, what version of `libstdc++` does it use? Does it use the system one (unlikely since the minimum version is only 3.4.19) or does it use the one that itself shipped with? I am guessing the latter.

And ofcourse, other programs that use `libstdc++` use the system one… since how would they be aware of the Julia one (unless I append it to `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` which I was doing and it was messing things up).

Ah, 30 minutes to learn linux… a lifetime to master.
