Precompilation issue (again)

[albop]

Installing on a fresh JuliaPro (windows) with Pkg.add( raises:

ERROR: Failed to precompile Dolo to C:\Users\Utilisateur\.julia\lib\v0.6\Dolo.ji.

I don't see any other reasonable way than deactivate precompile altogether. @sglyon ?

I haven’t come across this myself, but I haven’t tried on new, fresh machines as often.

Do we know why it is happening? If we can’t figure that out then I suppose we will need to disable the precompilation

Apparently this happens on windows 7 machines and is due to the build of symengine. I'll try to report it on Symengine.jl . Still I wonder, is there an easy way to deactivate precompiling, other than commenting a line ? Le ven. 11 mai 2018 à 13:39, Spencer Lyon <[email protected]> a écrit :

Ok -- sounds like something we should be able to fix with the SymEngine team.

Do you have an idea for what would be easier than commenting out the line?

That was my question... Maybe a global switch that turns off precompiling altogether ? Something we could put in the faq. Here I had no information about symengine until I commented. Le ven. 11 mai 2018 à 17:51, Spencer Lyon <[email protected]> a écrit :
