I’m trying to build IJulia so my new notebook with know about it. I am having Conda problems again. I have tried deleting .julia and starting over with no luck. I get this message and am stuck. I have followed the directions to `add Conda`, which seems to work but the problem persists.

Mac Mini, M2 Pro, latest OS, Julia 1.9

Just tried the nightly build for 1.10 and everything is fine. Version 1.10.0-DEV.1239 (2023-05-08)

What am I missing?

```julia
(@v1.9) pkg> build IJulia

Can you print the status of your `@v1.9` environment?

Interesting. I was starting from nothing (no .julia directory at all) did `add IJuiia` and then `build IJulia` and got

```julia
(@v1.9) pkg> build IJuila
ERROR: The following package names could not be resolved:
 * IJuila (not found in project or manifest)

```

did ` add IJulia` again then `build IJuila` worked. I have no idea why, but thanks for asking me to reproduce the problem.

It seems your build command was for `IJuila` (note the typo), so that might explain the error in your last message. Happy that a clean environment solved it!

I don’t think (but who knows? I’m old) I made that typo several times as I tried it before. Nuking .julia has always worked for me in the past. You shouldn’t have to do that, but sometimes you do.

Thanks again.
