I recently upgraded to Version 1.7.2. Is there anything I need to do to make my GMT.jl to continue to work? Below is the error I’m having right now. Many thanks. ``` error: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/otool-classic: can't open file: @rpath/libgdal.29.dylib (No such file or directory) ERROR: LoadError: failed processes: Process(`otool -L @rpath/libgdal.29.dylib`, ProcessExited(1)) [1] Process(`grep libproj`, ProcessExited(1)) [1] Stacktrace: [1] pipeline_error(procs::Base.ProcessChain) @ Base ./process.jl:544 [2] (::Base.var"#697#698"{Base.ProcessChain})() @ Base ./process.jl:320 [3] iterate(itr::Base.EachLine{Base.PipeEndpoint}, state::Nothing) (repeats 2 times) @ Base ./io.jl:1019 [4] _collect(cont::UnitRange{Int64}, itr::Base.EachLine{Base.PipeEndpoint}, #unused#::Base.HasEltype, isz::Base.SizeUnknown) @ Base ./array.jl:660 [5] collect @ ./array.jl:649 [inlined] [6] #readlines#378 @ ./io.jl:553 [inlined] [7] readlines(s::Base.OrCmds) @ Base ./io.jl:553 [8] top-level scope @ ~/.julia/packages/GMT/dEogU/src/GMT.jl:62 [9] include @ ./Base.jl:418 [inlined] [10] include_package_for_output(pkg::Base.PkgId, input::String, depot_path::Vector{String}, dl_load_path::Vector{String}, load_path::Vector{String}, concrete_deps::Vector{Pair{Base.PkgId, UInt64}}, source::String) @ Base ./loading.jl:1318 [11] top-level scope @ none:1 [12] eval @ ./boot.jl:373 [inlined] [13] eval(x::Expr) @ Base.MainInclude ./client.jl:453 [14] top-level scope @ none:1 in expression starting at /Users/leon.julia/packages/GMT/dEogU/src/GMT.jl:1 ERROR: LoadError: Failed to precompile GMT [5752ebe1-31b9-557e-87aa-f909b540aa54] to /Users/leon/.julia/compiled/v1.7/GMT/jl_iuUWKA.

Many thanks for the reply. Version 1.7.2 of Julia. That is correct, I’m getting a bunch of errors by either typing `using GMT` within Julia, or using `julia xxxx.jl` Is it normal to have GMT.jl corrupted by upgrading Julia? What is the fix? ---

Updating Julia has nothing to do with GMT.jl functioning. But you need to re-install the Julia packages after updates. My question was. Does GMT run from the shell? ---

Sorry but how do I run GMT from the shell? I mainly use it through Julia. When I type `GMT` in the shell, I got the below successfully: ``` GMT - The Generic Mapping Tools, Version 6.2.0 [64-bit] [16 cores] (c) 1991-2021 The GMT Team (https://www.generic-mapping-tools.org/team.html).

So that means GMT is working fine. Confess I’m lost with your GMT.jl problem. As I said when updating one must reinstall all the packages. Try to remove GMT.jl and reinstall it again. I never had that problem.
