How to fix precompilation bug on NLsolve?

Getting the following error from using NLsolve:

INFO: Precompiling module NLsolve.
Failed to precompile NLsolve to /home/ubuntu/.julia/lib/v0.6/NLsolve.ji.

Stacktrace:
 [1] compilecache(::String) at ./loading.jl:703
 [2] _require(::Symbol) at ./loading.jl:490
 [3] require(::Symbol) at ./loading.jl:398
 [4] include_string(::String, ::String) at ./loading.jl:515

what’s going on here? there is no additional message.

// some context. this is on an ubuntu server in an ec2 instance

just messed around with it and it eventually started working

Hello djsegal!
How have you solved the problem? Because I’m having the same issue with other packages and I think it is due to the julia version .
Thanks
