TypeError: apply_type: in Array, expected Type{T}

I get the error below when I try to load FITSIO with Julia (Version 0.4.0-dev+4603). Is FITSIO compatible with Julia 0.4?

The current release version of FITSIO isn't compatible with Julia 0.4. However, master is, and we plan to tag a new version of FITSIO soon (by the end of the week).

OK sounds good, I'm looking forward to the release! I get an error message with master too currently...I wonder if it's something about my setup, since I see your travis-ci builds are passing.

Did you try running Pkg.build("FITSIO")? It happens automatically with Pkg.add, but I'm not sure it does with Pkg.clone.

[jeff-regier]

Ah, that fixed it, thanks! Btw, Pkg.build("FITSIO") generated one minor warning you might want to address before tagging the new version.

julia> Pkg.build("FITSIO")

[kbarbary]

Thanks. Fixed as part of #30.

New version (v0.6.0) is now tagged.
