[BUG] `ZLIB_1.2.9' not found by Plots dependencies

[deszoeke]

Details

On julia v1.6.3, ]update loads dependencies of Plots that fail to precompile because libpng requires ZLIB_1.2.9, but the precompiler is trying the system ZLIB_1.2.7 in

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     13 Feb 26  2021 /lib64/libz.so -> libz.so.1.2.7

Starting julia via
bash-4.2$ LD_PRELOAD="/home/server/pi/homes/sdeszoek/.julia/conda/3/lib/libz.so.1.2.11" julia
has the same result, i.e. it still tries to load /lib64/libz.so.1.

[BeastyBlacksmith]

Is that an official julia build or did you compile it from source?

[deszoeke]

It’s the Copr build provided by nalimilan. I obtained for CentOS by ‘yum install julia’

[BeastyBlacksmith]

Can you reproduce this with a Binary from julialang.org?

[deszoeke]

PyPlot and Plots work with the official julialang.org julia binary!

It successfully (re)precompiles PyPlot​ previously installed into ~/.julia​ by the Copr julia package manager.
Plots​ dependencies needed to be rebuilt.

]build with the new julia binary seems to fix it.
