Hi! I am working in a Github project for my thesis. I have imported all relevant packages, however, when importing “KernelEstimator.jl”, Julia fails to precompile certain direct dependencies. The error log suggests that the “SpecialFunctions.jl”-package is not installed correctly - try "Pkg.build(“SpecialFunctions”). When I do that, I only get the error message “ERROR: LoadError: Unable to open LibLLVM!”, followed by error messages mentioning the package “BinaryProvider.jl”.
I have read threads that mention that the package “BinaryProvider.jl” is outdated, but I didn’t get an answer to what to specifically do to fix the issue. I need the packages “SpecialFunctions.jl” and “KernelEstimator.jl”, but obviously the “BinaryProvider.jl” package is messing up the dependencies or something. What can I do about it?
