Error when using Python backend for Plots.jl? #184

Closed saopeter closed 1 year ago

saopeter commented 2 years ago

Note: It's been a few weeks since I last ran into this issue, so it's possible that there was a patch pushed somewhere upstream that fixed it, though I don't see anything in recent Comrade commits that might have affected it. I'm leaving this here for posterity in case it's helpful to someone, or in case there's a regression. Feel free to close if this is no longer an issue. Update: it happened again today, when I grabbed and ran a fresh copy of the code in this repository: https://github.com/saopeter/challenge1_comrade

I have previously encountered the following error when trying to run https://github.com/ptiede/Comrade.jl/blob/main/examples/imaging.jl directly from a terminal:

** (process:95014): WARNING **: 14:01:35.389: Failed to load shared library 'libpango-1.0.so.0' referenced by the typelib: /usr/lib/libpango-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol: hb_ot_layout_get_horizontal_baseline_tag_for_script
ERROR: PyError (PyImport_ImportModule) <class 'AssertionError'>

This seems to be related to the issue mentioned here: https://github.com/JuliaPlots/Plots.jl/issues/4282

A possible workaround is to first start a Julia REPL and manually type in the following commands:

using Comrade
load_ehtim()
include("imaging.jl")

then the imaging.jl script will run as expected.

We can't fix this in Comrade since this is an upstream issue. I'll leave this open for now but I can't really act on it.
