I am trying to add the Distributions package to Julia but get an load error stating SpecialFunctions is not installed properly. I then add SpecialFuncitons and then try to load SpecialFunctions. When I try loading SpecialFunctions I get the error stating SpecialFunctions is not installed properly. I can add SpecialFunctions without error but get errors when I try “using” with SpecialFunctions or Distributions. I am a new user and just can’t figure this issue out.  
Thanks for any help.
