#require "Graphics" error - symbol not found in flat namespace '_XAllocColor'

Hey everyeone,
I am currently learning OCaml on weekends it is a clean and clear language and the walk-through on the official site is great, but I am facing a problem with running “Graphics”

Cannot load required shared library dllgraphics_stubs.
Reason: /Users/myname/.opam/default/lib/stublibs/dllgraphics_stubs.so:
dlopen(/Users/myname/.opam/default/lib/stublibs/dllgraphics_stubs.so, 0x000A):
symbol not found in flat namespace '_XAllocColor'.

I am using a Macbook Air m1, is there anyway to solve it? thank you everyone!

Sounds similar to Cannot load graphics library on ARM macOS · Issue #33 · ocaml/graphics · GitHub.
