I’ve build Julia 1.6.0 on my Raspberry Pi running 64bit Gentoo Linux. Everything appeared to be working fine until I tried to add Plots when I get an Unsupported architecture error, see below:
import Pkg; Pkg.add("Plots")

Can anyone suggest how to remove this error?

Welcome! Sorry for the question, but are you sure you’re using Julia v1.6? That error shouldn’t occur with Julia v1.6, as far as I know. You can see the version of Julia you’re currently using with versioninfo().
Also, could you please show the whole stacktrace, not just the first line?
Thanks! There was more information the first time I tried to add Plots so I’ve deleted my ~/.Julia directory and tried it again, see below:
julia> import Pkg; Pkg.add("Plots")

Does this suggest there’s a problem with the FreeType2 module? versioninfo() confirms it is 1.6.0, although strangely the CPU is not detected:
julia> versioninfo()
Julia Version 1.6.0
Commit f9720dc2eb (2021-03-24 12:55 UTC)
Platform Info:
OS: Linux (aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu)
CPU: unknown
WORD_SIZE: 64
LIBM: libopenlibm
LLVM: libLLVM-11.0.1 (ORCJIT, cortex-a72)
Yes, but the problem is that the error doesn’t make any sense to me: FreeType2_jll v2.10.1+5 doesn’t reference the platform aarch64-apple-darwin anywhere. I have absolutely no idea where the error you’re getting comes from 
moreover, in v1.6.0 that platform shouldn’t trigger the error at all
I just installed Julia from scratch on an aarch64-linux-gnu system and installing Plots.jl worked flawless.
Sorry, I’d like to help you but I’m having an extremely hard time understanding why you’re getting that error. There are two things very wrong:
- that error shouldn’t even appear in Julia v1.6, not at all. It was an error that could appear until Julia v1.5.1
- even accepting that the error exists in Julia v1.6.0, I have no clue what could trigger it. Your output would seem to suggest
FreeType2_jll, but it’s not possible
How did you install Julia?
