I am attempting to install the package ADCME, which is installed when installing ADSeismic. I get an error with ADCME
**ERROR:** Error building `ADSeismic`:
ERROR: LoadError: ADCME is not properly built; run `Pkg.build("ADCME")` to fix the problem.
and so if I run
Pkg.build(“ADCME”)
I get this output below. It’s a long stack trace but for the life of me I can’t find anything that I could do differently.
I am using julia 1.9.4 on macOS 12.5.1, M2 processor.

What is your output of:
```julia
using Pkg
Pkg.status()
```
?
EDIT: You are not the only one: [Issues · kailaix/ADCME.jl · GitHub](https://github.com/kailaix/ADCME.jl/issues)
I tried to install in using Julia 1.10 on Linux and it failed…

I just updated Julia to see if that was the issue, so it’s a clean install.
So it says I have ADCME but if I try
using ADCME
I get

It is a problematic package, not well maintained. Perhaps create a bug report?
Last commit two years ago…

I’ll let them know - I assumed it was my fault!

Agreed. I’m not familiar with the package but a quick look over the GitHub repo tells me, despite being particularly well documented, it’s looking a little unmaintained. The `Project.toml` file tells me they last targeted Julia 1.3, and have a few package dependencies that are capped to now-fairly-old versions, so you’re bound to run into package management issues with it. It’s certainly possible to get it running if required, but it may not be for the faint of heart.

P.S. Without spending too much time researching, this package seems to aspire to do a lot of what is now in the SciML ecosystem.
