Julia 1.8.5 was released 8 Jan 23 an is the current stable. Some packages don't seem to compile with our current 1.8.3, including the important LinearSolve.jl, which gives a method mismatch. All is fixed if one builds Julia 1.8.5. Could you please bump the version? On a side note, could we have a testing release for 1.9.0 since it's been a release candidate for a long time? It should provide some time-to-first-plot speedup which would be nice. Thank you for your attention.
I will try to have another look at Julia soon. Last time I tied packaging 1.8.5 I failed miserably AFAIK because upstream uses new way of detecting library locations this is super hard to work with on Gentoo. I will try to report the failures on upstream but knowing "them" they won't likely solve them (like numerous lingering LLVM issues). "Lucky" for me I stopped caring about Julia since I switched jobs but looks like this will bit me back. I hope you can manage with 1.8.3 or a binary package for now.

Alright, got it to work. I think sys.so is the only file with unusual location.
Than was fast. Many thanks!
