error when trying to install in Julia v1.9-dev

[fortunewalla]

This is probably expected since it is a DEV version but is there any workaround for this? Thanks.

I feel this is the main error.

This still fails on 1.9.0 rendering Plots package unusable due to failed build of FFMPEG

Windows distribution of julia contains libLLVM-14jl.dll but BinaryProvider expects libLLVM.dll to be present. Fixed it temporarily by copying libLLVM-14jl.dll to libLLVM.dll.

[SimonDanisch]

BinaryProvider is deprecated, and not used anymore... So if you have it in your environment, you most likely are using some very old julia package, or you added it explicitly to your environment!

[mackrol]

Yup, today's clean setup of julia-1.9.0 got weird with packages, After adding some essential packages ]add Plots somehow gave me old version of Plots v1.15.2. I wiped out everything clean and added Plots as the first one and now everything works fine with Plots v1.38.12
