Precompiling Turing package failing

Specific Domains Probabilistic programming
1

I have been trying to use the Turing.jl package,
MacOS v10.15,

I successfully added the package Turing v0.7.0, with dependent packages Zygote v0.3.0, IRTools v0.3.0

but when executing:
using Turing

I get precompile error:
[ Info: Precompiling Turing [fce5fe82-541a-59a6-adf8-730c64b5f9a0]

Cause of the error is that Zygote package tries to import IRTools:Argument but IRTools does not export Argument

Any known fixes to this problem?

Try updating Turing.

Did manifest update giving changes

this set gave a different precompile failure but still at the interface between the Zygote and IRTools.

I assume there must be a working set of these packages.

The latest release should be v0.7.2. Can you try ] add Turing?

UPDATE: sorry I didn’t see the latest reply.

5

I tried a fresh installation of Julia v1.2.0 on macOS and the precompilation works. Can you try to remove Zygote and Turing and ] add Turing again?

Thanks, it is now precompiling and I am able to execute the Getting Started example.
