julia 1.10.2 fails to add Makie and Plots

[JuanVargas]

1. OS: Linux Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS
2. I download the Julia 1.10.2 tar file, expand, and install under /usr/local/julia
3. Launch Julia from xTerm
4. import Pkg; Pkg.update()
5. Pkg.add("Makie") : Downloads several artifacts, including Cairo_jll, HarfBuzz_jll, libass_jll, FFMPEG_jll
6. Precompile fails with Cairo_jll, HarfBuzz_jll, libass_jll, FFMPEG_jll.

Error message:

  ✗ Cairo_jll
  ✗ HarfBuzz_jll
  ✗ libass_jll
  ✗ FFMPEG_jll
  ✗ Makie

You aren't showing the actual error message, as suggested by the text at the end of the add command that you removed. But my educated guess is that this is due to you setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH, as shown by the output of versioninfo, we can't do anything when you do that.

[JuanVargas]

Yes, I had to change the definition of LD_LIBRARY_PATH to deal with an issue I had with Tensorflow. When I went back to the original definition the issue that I reported in Julia went away.

I will close this issue now. Thank you.
