GR.jl doesn't come with 'Plots' package on apple silicon

[PinkGenji]

Hi, I am new to Julia. I am learning Julia on both Mac and Windows. When I install "Plots" on windows, everything works fine. But When I try to install Plots and use the plot() function, I got the error 'could not load library "libGR.so"'. After a look on the terminal, it seems GR package wasn't included in the Mac installation list. Tried re-installing and it didn't work.

Julia v1.9.3 + GR v0.72.10 + MacOS v14.0

I can't reproduce this on any macOS platform. I also have no idea why libGR.so is searched for and not - as expected - libGR.dylib.

Could you please start in a fresh environment (rm -rf .julia) and try to ] add GR? In case of problems, please start Julia with JULIA_DEBUG=GR julia.

If everything works (and you don't want to use GR as a standalone package), please clean your environment again and ] add Plots. GR will then only be use as a Plots backend.

Thanks for helping! I ended up re-installing Julia and the problem was solved!
