Hi all, I am trying to update some of the Mongo related packages, specifically the LibBSON one, and I am pretty confused as to how to deal with importing packages into my julia environment.
I have added the package from the package command prompt with add https://github.com/pazzo83/LibBSON.jl
This seems to add and build the package fine, however, when I go to load it in my julia prompt (i.e. using LibBSON), I get this error:
ERROR: LoadError: LoadError: ArgumentError: Package LibBSON does not have Libdl in its dependencies:
- If you have LibBSON checked out for development and have
added Libdl as a dependency but haven't updated your primary
environment's manifest file, try `Pkg.resolve()`.
- Otherwise you may need to report an issue with LibBSON.
Following the prompt, I run Pkg.resolve(), and this seemed to deal with that. However, as I push new commits to that repo (which i added earlier), upon running up LibBSON from the package command, it does not pick up the changes.
What am I doing wrong here?
they won’t pick up updates to master even if you use add with the git url?
I’m pretty sure that is the case (having to do with reproducibility and such). I’m not 100% sure.
I would try to explicitly update the package (using pkg> up <package_name>) and see if that fixes your issue. If it does fix your issue, then perhaps dev is more appropriate.
Here is variation on the problem raised by the initial poster:
I seem to be having trouble with precompilation of packages having
Libdl as a dependency, under Julia 0.7. The problem occurs on my
mac. On my Ubuntu machine I have no problem.
For example, consider DataFrames; it depends on CodecZlib, which
in turn depends on Libdl. After a fresh 0.7 installation I do the following (session output appears below):
Add CodecZlib succesfully but with a warning like the one in the original post.
Add DataFrames without problems (but I think the warnings are now
being supressed).
using DataFrames triggers precompilation, which is apparently
successful (ditto warnings).
Restart the REPL and attempt using DataFrames but this time get
the original warning and “…compilecache failed to create a usable
precompiled cache file for DataFrames.”
In every session using triggers re-precompilation on both DataFrames and CodecZlib and on anything involving Libdl, as
far as I can tell.
While I don’t actually get errors, the forced precompilation of many
of my commonly used packages makes 0.7 unuseable from my point of
view.
