[GR_jll] Segmentation Fault via SSH

[lmh91]

I get a segmentation fault when I am connected over ssh -X and try to display a plot via Plots.jl with the GR backend:

using Plots; plot(rand(10))

I get the segmenation fault only if GR is build using the GR_jll binaries:

ENV["JULIA_DEBUG"] = "GR" # Turn on debug statements for the GR package
ENV["GRDIR"] = ""
ENV["JULIA_GR_PROVIDER"] = "BinaryBuilder"
import Pkg; Pkg.build("GR")

If I build GR with the binaries from the GR developers via

ENV["JULIA_DEBUG"] = "GR" # Turn on debug statements for the GR package
ENV["GRDIR"] = ""
ENV["JULIA_GR_PROVIDER"] = "GR"
import Pkg; Pkg.build("GR")

everything works and the plot is displayed.

I am using Julia v1.7.2 on a Linux x64 machine.

I guess this is related to https://github.com/JuliaPlots/Plots.jl/issues/3980 and maybe https://github.com/JuliaPlots/Plots.jl/issues/1905.

Happens to me to, with Plots+GR over ssh -X.

Is there a message similar to connect: Connection refused. GKS: can't connect to GKS socket application?

Yes, here is the full error message:

julia> plot(rand(10))
connect: Connection refused
GKS: can't connect to GKS socket application
