Thanks for your kind words.
I am not sure I (or my packages I feel responsibility for) are the actual cause for your textbook to error, but still I have not yet understood what happened here and whether I could have helped avoiding it in the first place.
I think in general Pkg is very nice and easy to use. I personally do not often run into “dependency hell” or precompilation errors.
Hi all,
Sorry, I’ve been unable to comment until now as I’ve been away from my computer until now. Thank you for your contributions. @kellertuer, apologies for the frustration and the doubting of the worth of your contribution my post has caused. I’m sure the community appreciates greatly your work.
@tobydriscoll, thank you for your offer of assistance on this matter. I would appreciate your walking me through instantiating the Project file by email.
To be honest, I’m not a student, I just don’t use Julia [all that much] and [know very little in the grand scheme of things about] scientific computing and I’m not a computer whizz, but I’d like to learn more about scientific computing and numerical methods [ - I know basic numerical methods and have supervised some small projects in a previous employment role that used Python, NumPy and SciPy] . I’d previously installed Julia 1.11.5 before and added an older version 1.10.? and installed FundamentalsNumericalComputation and things generally seemed to work and then I left it for months and updated Julia. And things didn’t work anymore.
So, I’m guessing now I’ll just install Julia 1.12.6, create a fresh environment, add FNCFunctions, and all the dependencies for the demos too?
Both the older versions and the updated versions should be good now? At least as of the PRs of the week and the registry fixes.
