Conda GMT build in (some) Linux is broken?

Q&A

@seisman Do you have any idea of why this? Seems a breaking in GDAL shared lib.
I know that’s not the right place to report this, but don’t know any better.

Not really solved though it might have been caused by an older GMT Conda installation in Julia.

It’s also possible that you’re mixing the defaults and conda-forge channels, which sometimes cause troubel.

It happens during the automatic GMT installation for GMT.jl so no human intervention here. But a possibility is that there was already an older GMT installed that way, though then I don’t understand why the faulty libgdal.so was not overwritten.
