Xubuntu 20.04 Plot install failure

David_Annetts · June 14, 2022, 3:34am

Hi,
I’m looking at the possibility of using Julia as a data-processing environment. While the program (1.7.3) installs without issue, I have consistently (since (1.5.?) hit errors when attempting to install packages so that I can plot things, ideally data. Errors (after pkg.add("Plots") are

 ✗ Cairo_jll
  ✗ Qt5Base_jll
  ✗ HarfBuzz_jll
  ✗ libass_jll
  ✗ FFMPEG_jll
  ✗ FFMPEG
  ✗ GR_jll
  ✗ Plots
  125 dependencies successfully precompiled in 102 seconds
  8 dependencies errored. To see a full report either run `import Pkg; Pkg.precompile()` or load the packages

This strikes me as something fundamental, so I am curious: What am I doing wrong? Is julia capable of plotting on linux?

Many thanks in advance,

D.

how did you install Julia

David_Annetts · June 14, 2022, 4:13am

Installation procedure is

extract archive
move the archive to /usr/local
ln -s /usr/local/julia-1.7.3/bin/julia /usr/local/bin/julia

I test the installation by typing ‘julia’ in my home directory, then checking that 1+2 = 3 and checking that a few other examples in the early pages of the documentation. They do.

What happens if you do using Plots.

Or using GR_jll?

Hehe, yes. There is probably something special with your system.

David_Annetts · June 14, 2022, 7:28am

It’s great to hear that plotting is possible in Linux. There may well be something special with my . However, I’m not using anything particularly special. Hardware’s 2014 vintage, and the installation is bog-standard.

using Plots triggers a bunch of errors as per below

where I’d note failure to compile Cairo_jll & GR_jll.

Is there another plotting package that should be used instead of Plots?

Are you setting some env variable like LD_LIBRARY_PATH that could mess up library loading?

Try running LD_LIBRARY_PATH="" julia and see what happens:

Well that seemed to have fixed the issue.

Clearing LD_LIBRARY_PATH, then starting julia and running through the first few examples in the Plots tutorial produced the expected output.

Many thanks for your help!

In general, LD_LIBRARY_PATH is a pretty bad idea to use due to problems like this. You are overriding the normal linking behaviors so clearly, any library that now uses the wrong version of its dependency can error in pretty much arbitrary ways.
