Dear Julia Users,

I got a problem with “using Distributions” for Julia 1.0.5. Please see below for details. Any idea would be appreciated.

Did you `Pkg.build("SpecialFunctions"), and restart Julia.` as the error message asked? Did the building process fail too? With which error message?

Yes, the building process failed. I have the error message included in the previous post. But here you go agin. I uninstalled Julia 1.0.5 and then download and install again. Now the building process works successfully. - quite strange! Anyway here is the error message for the building process

You do not have the Fortran language compiler `gfortran` installed, and it is necessary to compile Fortran code embedded inside the Julia package. You seem to use Mac OS, I did never use Mac OS, but it seems [there is a way to install gfortran in it](https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GFortranBinariesMacOS).
