You need to make sure you are running texlive 2014. If you are indeed running texlive 2014, then I'm happy to look into this more deeply with you. Please file an issue <https://github.com/sisl/PGFPlots.jl/issues> with the code you're trying to use to plot. If you want to try digging into it a little on your own, you can follow these steps: 1. run "using TikzPictures" 2. run "tikzDeleteIntermediate(false)" 3. rerun the commands you used to plot 4. go into the console and run "lualatex tikzpicture" on the tikzpicture.tex that is generated in the current directory 5. the errors you get in step 4 should give a hint as to what is wrong
