I have a problem precompile the Flux package in Julia

Question

I am trying to add Flux into my package repository in Julia but I am getting an error.

I typed pkg> add Flux but Julia REPL returns "5 dependencies errored".

And they are:

1. LLVM
2. GPUCompiler
3. CUDA
4. NNlibCUDA
5. Flux

To see a full report either run import Pkg; Pkg.precompile() or load the packages I ran the command precompile and this is what i got.

ERROR: The following 1 direct dependency failed to precompile:
Flux [587475ba-b771-5e3f-ad9e-33799f191a9c]

Any ideas how can i fix this and use Flux properly?

I can't reproduce this, and it looks like your Julia install is broken - someone else had a similar issue on Julia 1.5 here: github.com/JuliaGPU/CUDA.jl/issues/681. What OS are you on and how did you install Julia? Why are you using Julia 1.6.4 (latest stable release is 1.7.1)? – Transpontine

I downloaded Julia from Microsft Store and i just update Julia to 1.7.1 version and i have the same problem. Should I just delete them all and dowload julia again ? My OS is Windows 11 Home 21H2 – Skin

Yes I would probably try to nuke everything (the folder where Julia is installed by the Windows store, as well as your Users\Kostas\.julia folder and do a clean install of 1.7.1. from the website. If that works there might be a problem with the Windows store installation. – Transpontine

Thank you, I will try that. – Skin
