The gr-0.53.0 ebuild installs libGR.so to the default /usr/gr/lib64 path, however the Julia GR package expects to find this at /usr/gr/lib/libGR.so. I confirmed by using a patched ebuild that moves /usr/gr/lib64 to /usr/gr/lib during src_install and that has solved the issue. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge dev-lang/julia-bin sci-visualization/gr 2. Run julia 3. import Pkg; Pkg.add("Plots"); Pkg.precompile() Actual Results: Full log: https://dpaste.com/FTZT6HSLG Failing lines: ERROR: LoadError: could not load library "/usr/gr/lib/libGR" /usr/gr/lib/libGR.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Expected Results: Pkg.precompile() should return without error.

I still don't get proper graphs all the time and I feel that there's some issue around LaTeXStrings, but I don't know that it's related to this package or not.
Even with this change, which allows GR 0.71.1 to compile, I still see failures where the GR backend for Plots doesn't render correctly. Using the PlotlyJS backend works. I assume that there is some other issue with GR, possibly with upstream. Fixing this s/lib64/lib/ issue would at least allow Julia users to use the Plots package with the PlotlyJS backend, since the Plots package has a dependency on GR, which requires this fix to compile correctly.
