I just installed Julia v. 0.6.4, and get errors with Plots…

```nohighlight

This may mean module Compat does not support precompilation but is imported by a module that does.

Any ideas of what is wrong?

Sometimes a combination of `Pkg.update()` and restarting your Julia session can fix these errors…

I ended up deleating `.julia` and re-adding packages… that fixed the problem - although it took a couple of hours.

I’m surprised that didn’t solve it.  
Normally you get that error when you 1. load Compat (through using a package depending on it), 2. update Compat, 3. use another package dependent on Compat. Restarting the Julia session is all it takes in that case.

Plots does some interactive loading of packages though which I think does not work well with precompilation.
