RuntimeError: Issues initializing DEVSIM

[smgitrep]

I installed gdsfactory and ran the following code without any errors:

import sys
print(sys.version)
print(sys.executable)
import gdsfactory as gf
gf.config.print_version_plugins()

Then, I installed the plugins using: pip install "gdsfactory[full]" --upgrade. After running the same code mentioned above, I received the error shown below. Is it a bug? Should I ignore this error?
