Details

While installing Plots, i get this error both on juno and on jupyterlab.

using Pkg

Did you use a new environment and just did add Plots?
Does adding GR in an empty environment work?

I just did add plots. Now i tried to create a new environment and add GR in it, with the following commands given from julia shell:

julia> cd("Q:\\juliapro\\juliapro\\.juliapro\\JuliaPro_v1.4.1-1\\environments")

julia> pwd()
"Q:\\juliapro\\juliapro\\.juliapro\\JuliaPro_v1.4.1-1\\environments"

julia> mkdir("myJEnv")
"myJEnv"

julia> cd("myJEnv")

julia> pwd()
"Q:\\juliapro\\juliapro\\.juliapro\\JuliaPro_v1.4.1-1\\environments\\myJEnv"

(@v1.4) pkg> activate .
 Activating new environment at `Q:\juliapro\juliapro\.juliapro\JuliaPro_v1.4.1-1\environments\myJEnv\Project.toml`

(myJEnv) pkg> add GR

So I think that even in a new environment the problem persists. What may I do?

[jamblejoe]

Hi,
GR and Plots work for me with Julia 1.4.1. You are using Julia pro. Does this occur for you when using Julia binaries from the official website? If no, then you probably should submit a bug report to Julia pro.

[yelingmilo]

I have the same isue when I use Pkg.add("GR"). Did you solved the problem?

[jamblejoe]

@yelingmilo Are you using julia pro as well? This probably should be reported either at GR or at julia pro.

[yelingmilo]

@jamblejoe yes,I am.

[jamblejoe]

@yelingmilo you can try downloading the Julia binaries for your system from the official website and just add GR. If this works, you should file an issue at julia pro.
