Try rebuilding GR pkg like this but it did not work. julia> ENV["GRDIR"]="" julia> Pkg.build("GR")

Are you mixing different environments? (/Users/tinus.chen/.julia/... vs. /Users/xxx/.julia/...). You should probably remove all .julia/packages/GR directories and reinstall/rebuild GR.

Thank you.

It may be imcompleted package. I need rebuild the GR package. firstly, rm -rf “GR” directories, and then Pkg.build("GR")

Then it works.

Hopefully this becomes easier when #314 is resolved.
