I am running arch linux using sway as my tiling compositor for wayland. The Arch Wiki recommends using the AUR version, so that is what I have installed on my machine. I updated to Julia 1.10.0, and now when I try to plot I get the following error:

```julia
/home/charper/.julia/artifacts/7f59a0ec3d19c98dce30a3ba8ea9cbd8824ce4a6/bin/gksqt: /usr/bin/../lib/julia/libcurl.so.4: version `CURL_OPENSSL_4' not found (required by /usr/lib/libproxy/libpxbackend-1.0.so)
connect: Connection refused
GKS: can't connect to GKS socket application

GKS: Open failed in routine OPEN_WS
GKS: GKS not in proper state. GKS must be

```

I think this is an incompatibility between julia’s vendored libraries and system one, but I’m not sure how to go about fixing this.

Give a minimal reproducer and the full error with stacktrace for a start.

What does `stat /usr/lib/julia/libcurl.so.4` say?

Which AUR julia did you install?

Could you try downloading julia from [Download Julia](https://julialang.org/downloads) and see if that works?

Can’t reproduce. Looking at the Plots.jl and GR.jl Github issues, there seem to be some relevant ones, including [Arch Linux: bundled runtime fails with `CURL\_OPENSSL\_4' not found/can't connect to GKS socket · Issue #528 · jheinen/GR.jl · GitHub](https://github.com/jheinen/GR.jl/issues/528). But I can’t figure out what could be causing the issue, or what’s a good workaround.

One thing I would suggest, as a troubleshooting step or possible workaround, is to try without your Julia depot, which should contain all of your Julia packages, preferences, etc. Something like:

```sh
# First back up the depot
mv "$HOME"/.julia "$HOME"/julia_depot_backup

# Now try exercising the minimal reproducer above
julia 

```

An alternative to fiddling with your depot is to start Julia with a temporary depot. I’ve never done this, but this seems to be the relevant docs: [Environment Variables · The Julia Language](https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/manual/environment-variables/#JULIA_DEPOT_PATH)

I have julia-bin installed, because it is the first recommended one on the archwiki but maybe I’ll give juliaup (the second one listed) a shot. If that dosen’t work then I will try to install directly from your link, but I’d like to get an AUR version working if possible.

UPDATE: Ah, that didn’t work either 😕

What does not make sense is why is “/usr/lib/libproxy/libpxbackend-1.0.so” involved at all here?

Provide the output of the following in Julia.

```julia
versioninfo()
using Pkg
pkg"status"
pkg"status -m"
using GR
GR.GRPreferences.diagnostics()

```

Also what is the output of the following from a shell?

```julia
pacman -Si julia-bin julia | grep 'Name\|Version'
ldd /home/charper/.julia/artifacts/7f59a0ec3d19c98dce30a3ba8ea9cbd8824ce4a6/bin/gksqt

I used paru instead of pacman b/c its installed from the AUR, but regardless `paru -Si julia-bin julia | grep 'Name\|Version'` returns the following output:

```julia
Name : julia
Version : 2:1.10.0-1
Name : julia-bin
Version : 1.10.0-1

Do you intentionally have both Plots.jl and GR.jl added to the project? Can you do `using Pkg; pkg"rm GR"` and then try the minimal reproducer again from a fresh REPL session?

In a fresh Julia session, try this.

```julia
using Pkg
pkg"activate --temp"
pkg"add GR_jll@0.72 DependencyWalker"
using DependencyWalker, GR_jll
Library(GR_jll.gksqt_path)

```

The objective is to figure out where `/usr/lib/libproxy/libpxbackend-1.0.so` is getting involved.

The alternate path is follow the recommendations here:

Basically install [AUR (en) - gr-framework](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gr-framework)

Do

```julia
using GR
GR.GRPreferences.use_system_binary("/usr/gr"; force = true)

```

and perhaps use the system julia package?

Also, I’m just confused why there are two julia packages listed by `paru`. I do not understand the relationship bewteen `julia` and `julia-bin`.

`DependencyWalker.Library` isn’t very useful when debugging binary executables, reason why it’s called `Library` and not `Executable`. But I agree the objective is understanding where `/usr/lib/libproxy/libpxbackend-1.0.so` is coming from.

FWIW that file is part of libproxy, which is a dependency of QT6, which is a dependency of GR.

I have Arch Linux and that package is installed, but the offending library doesn’t get picked up when I run plotting commands with the GR backend. So there’s probably _something_ in @charperflow’s setup which is forcing that library to be loaded. But we need to find out what. This usually happens when the user sets environment variables like `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` or `LD_PRELOAD`, but that didn’t seem to be the case above (at least not for `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`).

Apparently, one can easily get mixed up between the two package distributions if Bart can get tripped up.

Is Arch installing a rogue artifact or package into a Julia depot somehow?

@charperflow mentioned that they looked at Arch Wiki, which at [Julia - ArchWiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Julia) suggests to install either [julia-bin](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/julia-bin/) (which is simply downloading julia official binaries) or [juliaup](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/juliaup/). I’m assuming @charperflow followed either of the two suggestions.
