FFTW fails to build

General Usage

I did an

] update

and FFTW failed with this message

(@v1.4) pkg> build FFTW

Building FFTW → ~/.julia/packages/FFTW/kcXL6/deps/build.log
┌ Error: Error building FFTW:
│ ERROR: LoadError: ArgumentError: Package LinearAlgebra not found in current path:

so I did (LinearAlgebra was already installed, but I tried again anyhow)

] add LinearAlgebra
] build LinearAlgebra
] build FFTW

and got the same error message. Any ideas?

Never mind. I did

] rm FFTW
] add FFTW

restarted Julia and typed this in the REPL

> using FFTW

got (no mention of LinearAlgebra)

ERROR: LoadError: FFTW is not properly installed. Please run Pkg.build(“FFTW”) and restart Julia.

Did as advised and all seems to be well. Is there a reason my first attempt failed?
