Can't plot on Juno using gr

[monilg96]

Hi, I'm new with julia and I'm trying to plot inside the juno plot plane but I get the same error everytime. I'm trying to do just a basic plot:

using Plots
gr()
plot(1:10)

The error I'm getting is:

Can anybody tell me if I'm doing something wrong?

[daschw]

Does it help, if you run

julia> ] # enter Pkg mode

pkg> build GR

in the REPL?

[monilg96]

no @daschw , i still get the same error

[daschw]

Hm, maybe @jheinen can help.

[jheinen]

Could you please check, whether the file C:\Users\Mónica Lara\.juliapro\JuliaPro_v1.1.1.1\packages\GR\jmltz\src\..\deps\gr\FONTS\GKSFONT.DAT really exists? If so, could you try to use Julia/GR in a Windows account without Unicode characters and/or blanks (Mónica Lara)?

[monilg96]

I tried searching for that file but apparently no such file exists. There's one with lowercase but it is located in the deps folder inside jmltz instead of in src and I'm not sure if it's the same thing.

[jheinen]

What is the value of using GR; ENV["GRDIR"]? Could you please try to build GR:

ENV["GRDIR"] = ""
] build GR

... probably after ] up

[monilg96]

now I get this error

[Dilkhaz-tce]

after adding Plots Package to your environments build it (build Plots) in first time

[jheinen]

Could you please try this.
