Error with using distributions package

I think there is the possibility this is happening for every package that has pre-compilation enabled. If this is happening, it is possible that the problem is some bug in the julia code that deals with the path to the precompiled file, it can be happening because there is some bug that only happens with Windows+“path with asian characters”+“julia package precompilation”. I am guessing that because:

  1. It has to be something considerably specific, otherwise other people in the forum would have the same problem.
  2. It has to be related to something in your system that is not just the Julia compiler, otherwise resetting Julia installation from scratch would solve it.
  3. If you look to the error message, it seems that it parses the path correctly in some cases (like in the line starting with “Status” in your last post) but in other cases (like the line starting with “Cannot open cache file” in your last post) it seems to disappear with the backslash (\) before the “.julia”. It may be a problem in my end, but I am not sure of it.

Did you try to execute the Julia REPL passing the flag julia --compiled-modules=no?
