segfault when testing PyCall, error initializing PyPlot, julia release 3.10 Ubuntu binaries, 3.11 compiled from source on Ubuntu

I'm getting a segfault when calling Pkg.test("PyCall"). 'using PyCall' then gives no error, but 'using PyPlot' doesn't work. The output of the two problematic functions and versioninfo is below. This happened both on the Ubuntu binaries (julia release 3.10) and after compiling from source on Ubuntu (julia release 3.11). The output below is from the Ubuntu binaries. The output from the version compiled from source is similar.

Many thanks for your help!
