After updating to RC4 (binary download) plotting completely stopped working for me.
julia> plot(rand(5)) [Plots.jl] Initializing backend: gr INFO: Precompiling module GR. WARNING: Module Compat with uuid 169833921923513 is missing from the cache. This may mean module Compat does not support precompilation but is imported by a module that does.

(might need to install it?) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I have un- and reinstalled Plots.jl, GR.jl, PyPlot.jl and Compat.jl to no avail. I would file an issue about it, but firstly, I don't know whether it should go on Julia, Plots.jl or Compat.jl. And, secondly, I find it weird that no-one else has experienced this pretty showstopping bug and filed an issue already, so I suspect it might be problem only with my installation. Can anyone help me out, I'm totally stuck right now.
