Weird `ERROR: LoadError: ArgumentError: Platform `riscv64-linux-gnu-libgfortran5` is not an officially supported platform` when loading package

General Usage
1

I tried running my package on a compute I haven’t used for two weeks:

using Catalyst

but got a weird error I do not understand:

[ Info: Precompiling Catalyst [479239e8-5488-4da2-87a7-35f2df7eef83] (cache misses: include_dependency fsize change (4), wrong dep version loaded (4), wrong source (4), dep missing source (2), mismatched flags (4))

This did update some stuff. But when I tried again using Catalyst in the first environment (after restarting Julia) I still got the same error.

Is your Operating System running on RISC-V? Check your ISA using below command in Linux terminal.

uname -m
3

Then you have an older version of JLLWrappers in some other environment. You should have 1.7.0 everywhere, if you somehow happen to load a previous version you get that issue.

Of course not, otherwise they wouldn’t get that error in the first place.

4

Same issue here, I am using MacOS M3, and updating the global environment was not helping, I fixed this error by adding JLLWrappers 1.7.0 in the global environment.

5

What is this, is this different from the default environment you updated?

6

Thanks everyone! Yes, going through all environments and checking that JLLWrappers was updated worked.

I had a folder “folder_lower” with my environment. I had updated JLLWrappers in that and my default Julia Environment. However, “folder_lower” was in a folder “folder_upper” which had an old version of it. Updating JLLWrappers for that environment as well solved it.

Thanks a lot!
