Julia can't precompile various packages

New to Julia
21

And what is the output of

cd .julia\artifacts\3aff78028a0bb2ad40ebc3ae7e465a52dcbe2730
dir

and of

cd .julia\artifacts\3aff78028a0bb2ad40ebc3ae7e465a52dcbe2730\bin
dir
22

As for the first, I’m getting

Volume in drive C has no label.
 Volume Serial Number is 80B0-52B0

 Directory of C:\Users\YOTAM\.julia\artifacts\3aff78028a0bb2ad40ebc3ae7e465a52dcbe2730

               0 File(s)              0 bytes
               2 Dir(s)   2,704,470,016 bytes free

but

cd C:\Users\YOTAM\.julia\artifacts\3aff78028a0bb2ad40ebc3ae7e465a52dcbe2730\bin

results in

The system cannot find the path specified.

This is interesting. The folder for the artifact was created but is empty. Either the download of the artifact failed (unlikely, you should have seen a different error message), or it was deleted e.g. by an overly active virus scanner…

I am running out of ideas…

You could:

  • create a bug report for the package
  • copy the missing files into this folder manually

Ok, it works when I switch to Julia 1.7.0!

Thanks so much for your help!

It was a pleasure!

Ok, probably you can just remove or delete something here and reinstall, but probably some Pkg.jl people need to weigh in about that. You could make an issue at GitHub - JuliaLang/Pkg.jl: Pkg - Package manager for the Julia programming language

This package depends on 140 other packages, so it is a good stress test for the package manager…
