Can't add Zygote in Julia 1.3

General Usage

When I tried to add Zygote.jl into Julia 1.3, it reported the following issues.
Any ideas on how to solve it?
Thanks :slight_smile:

probably some package cache problem … with clean (Linux) Julia1.3 it is working.

I’m not sure if there is a general solution to this type of problem. Sometimes it can be solved by removing the packages listed in your error messages, then adding Zygote, followed by adding back the packages you removed. But I would be interested in hearing if there is a better approach.

4

Can you post your pkg> status ?

5

Try updating FFTW - it looks like you have an old version. I got stuck because I had ArrayFire installed which required the very old FFTW.

Or you can try to update other packages listed in the output one at a time

6

Thx. I tried this and worked for me.

7

Thx. I tried directly update in Pkg before, but seems not work. Removing and reinstalling worked for me.

8

Probably be true. I remove and install the packages, and find can’t reproduce this issue.

see: Is Pkg's dependency resolution order-dependent?

TLDR 1.4 will generally avoid this class of errors
