Looks like you have `dev`-ed StatsBase (i.e. when you are in package mode, your did `dev StatsBase`. Posting the listing of `status`, again executed in the package mode, will show this. Package-mode you enter by hitting `]`). Also by the sounds of it, you don’t want to `dev` it. Try `free StatsBase`. Otherwise, please report the output of `status`.
