Hi everyone. I just updated to GMT 6.1.1\_3 in my Mac and tried to call it from Julia and I get this error: ERROR: could not load library “/usr/local/Cellar/gmt/6.1.1\_2/lib/libgmt.dylib” dlopen(/usr/local/Cellar/gmt/6.1.1\_2/lib/libgmt.dylib, 1): image not found Any idea how can I fix it? ---

Did you install the GMT bundle? Unfortunately Apple does so dark magic to it that the bundle does not work for externals (Julia, Matlab, Python, etc…). Use homebrew. ---

```auto /usr/local/Cellar/gmt/6.1.1_2/lib/libgmt.dylib ``` I think it means you installed GMT using Homebrew. The problem is that although you installed GMT 6.1.1\_3, GMT.jl still tries to load the old library (GMT 6.1.1\_2). So you should tell GMT.jl to load the correct version. ---

I think you must set **GMT\_LIBRARY** to point to this specific libgmt.dylib file before staring Julia ---

No, no need to set anything. But Dongdong got it. If the lib has changed address (but why would it? The public name is a symbolic link with always the same name) Julia still remembers the old address until you force a new precompile. Anyway try to delete your equivalent of mine `C:\Users\joaqu\.julia\compiled\v1.6\GMT` and launch Julia again. This will force a precompile. ---

> [@pwessel](#): > > I think you must set **GMT\_LIBRARY** You need to do that but that’s because of the Xcode oddities in finding the debug lib. ---

Well, I did: - deleted GMT from: /Users/omenbonum/.julia/compiled/v1.5 - Reinstalled it from brew (just in case) - Removed and reinstalled the packaged And it didn’t work At the end, I had to go back to the original Mac zsh shell (I was using tcsh), restart my Mac and do all the previous steps. And it finally works! ---

> [@marianoarnaiz](#): > > - deleted GMT from: > /Users/omenbonum/.julia/compiled/v1.5 > - Reinstalled it from brew (just in case) Don’t understand this. In first point you deleted the pre-compiled version of GMT.jl but the second point has nothing to do with GMT.jl that you cannot install from brew (thatI know of). Any way, thanks for bringing this up. I will have to think on a strategy for GMT.jl on Macs that change the full name of the gmtlib on each upgrade. ---

You are right. The first and second point don’t have any relationship. I just did it in case there was something weird with the brew install. I think the major problem was the shell that was being used.
