Failed to precompile Plots [91a5bcdd-55d7-5caf-9e0b-520d859cae80]

[henrik-wolf]

Today I got (I would say out of nowhere) the following error when trying to precompile Plots 1.5.7:

`julia> using Plots`

results in:

[ Info: Precompiling Plots [91a5bcdd-55d7-5caf-9e0b-520d859cae80]

Please submit a bug report with steps to reproduce this fault, and any error messages that follow (in their entirety). Thanks.

I have no idea where this problem comes from or how to fix it. It first occurred after I restarted the REPL when working in Juno.
So far I tried to reinstall Plots, install an earlier version (1.5.6), as well as deleting the Plots files in the compiled directory, to no avail.

Do you have any insight into what is going on?

duplicate of #2881, also relevant #2838

[alec-hoyland]

What's your Julia version (i.e. output of versioninfo())?

[alec-hoyland]

Looks like you're using version 1.3... my precompile seg-fault issue (#2881) went away with a newer version of Julia. I think version 1.4.2 is the current stable release.

[daschw]

1.5.0 is the current stable release https://julialang.org/downloads/.

Uninstall and delete C:/user/.julia . and then,install julia agin ,it work to me
