Issues with Pumas

1

Hello,

After the recent updates to Julia and Pumas, I have been unable to use Pumas successfully. I have tried reinstalling everything from scratch multiple times, including VS Code, but the issue persists.

During installation, package precompilation fails consistently. Each time, the first failure occurs with MLK_jll, which then triggers a cascade of failures in dependent packages. I have also tried installing earlier versions of both Julia and Pumas, but I encounter the same problem across versions.

I have attached a screenshot for reference.

Any guidance on how to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Which processor does your machine have? If you are able to start Julia, it is sufficient to share the output from versioninfo().

Hello @nmatharoo,

Can you please provide a few more details:

  • how was this Julia REPL opened? Via ctrl+shift+p “Julia REPL” approach, or directly from a terminal typing julia?
  • which previous version of Pumas were you last able to run successfully?
  • can you provide the contents of the “User Settings (JSON)” config file. Ctrl+shift+p and type “User Settings JSON”.
  • Are you running in a virtual machine, or cloud PC of some kind?

Hello @Michael ,
Please see the responses to your questions below.

  • how was this Julia REPL opened? Via ctrl+shift+p “Julia REPL” approach, or directly from a terminal typing julia? - it works both ways.

  • which previous version of Pumas were you last able to run successfully? - It was the previous to the update - Pumas 2.7 and Julia 1.11 (I am not 100% sure)

  • can you provide the contents of the “User Settings (JSON)” config file. Ctrl+shift+p and type “User Settings JSON”.

  • Are you running in a virtual machine, or cloud PC of some kind? - no

Thank you,

From some debugging this appears to be similar/same as Installing MKL on Windows fails - General Usage - Julia Programming Language. @nmatharoo is reaching out to their sysadmin to get the required vcruntime140 installed on their system and then we will continue debugging.

Resolved on a call. Once the vcruntime140 dlls were installed the user was able to finish precompiling and importing Pumas correctly.
