Installing Makie on Arch Linux (no GPU needed)

Getting Makie setup on Linux when you don't have a GPU can be a pain.

Try first getting makie by the standard ] add GLMakie on Julia. if it fails to precompile, you might lack some of the video drivers necessary. Try : doas pacman -S mesa mesa-utils xorg-dev and get all the necessary OpenGL stuff too. Then reboot your system.

The next step is to get rid of a pesky file. Go to [julia-version]/lib/julia/ and delete the libstdc++.so.6. Maybe reboot again? This may not be necessary.

Now start a Julia REPL and try using GLMakie . It should work.
