I guess that libproxy is a dependency of Arch’s QT6, but not from Yggdrasil?

> @charperflow mentioned that they looked at Arch WikiI. ’m assuming @charperflow followed either of the two suggestions.

That is correct; I installed the julia-bin from AUR. I don’t know why its also listing julia, I imagine thats the arch-maintained version (which is not recommended to use because it is compiled against system libraries)…maybe its a leftover from when I first set up this machine.

I appreciate all the feedback and community help, it’s the first day of the term so it might be a little bit until I can make sometime to work through all of these suggestions, but I will get to it eventually. Thank you all for all of your help!

```

I don’t see `libproxy` linked anywhere. So it’s something else pulling it in.

Did you try:

```julia
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="" julia

```

?

FTR, the command doesn’t list your locally installed packages, rather it lists packages available in repo and AUR. In fact, `julia-bin` conflicts `julia`, so having both installed shouldn’t be possible.

The results from running that are too long, to post. I am linking to a github file where I pasted the results…sorry for the weird work around! [github work around](https://github.com/charperflow/Spoon-Knife/blob/main/julia_troubleshoot)

@Henrique_Becker , I did try that to no avail.

I found a work around. The AUR has two supported versions of julia: julia-bin and juliaup. By uninstalling julia-bin and switching to juliaup, everything is working OK now. I still don’t know the root problem which is kind of frustrating, but thank you to everyone for your help, and I hope this helps if anyone finds themselves in a similar problem!

Just wanted to report that I was facing the same issue today and your solution worked for me.

glad it worked for you too, hopefully the next version of julia-bin will be ok 🙂
