Hello,
I am trying to precompile the Turing package, but failed to do so with the following error messages. There was no error message when I added Turing. I use Ubuntu 20.04 LTS with a Dell laptop. I will appreciate if someone could share ideas on this matter.
Thanks,
Joseph

Have you tried the most recent version of Turing (0.19.2)? Sometimes updating helps.

Thank you, Christopher. I followed your advice, and it seems to have little different errors:

I’m glad that helped. If you run into more issues in the future, you might consider using project specific environments.
