Error when trying to use Mamba #143

Open benmbrennan opened 6 years ago

benmbrennan commented 6 years ago

I'm getting the following error after entering "using Mamba"

[ Info: Precompiling Mamba [5424a776-8be3-5c5b-a13f-3551f69ba0e6] ERROR: LoadError: syntax: space before "." not allowed in "importall ." Stacktrace: [1] include at .\boot.jl:317 [inlined] [2] include_relative(::Module, ::String) at .\loading.jl:1038 [3] _require(::Base.PkgId) at .\loading.jl:950 [4] require(::Base.PkgId) at .\loading.jl:852 [5] macro expansion at .\logging.jl:311 [inlined] [6] require(::Module, ::Symbol) at .\loading.jl:834 in expression starting at C:\Users\benmbrennan.julia\packages\Mamba\XbAqz\src\Mamba.jl:49

Any help would be appreciated.

That looks like the error I get at the moment with Mamba in julia 1.0. The plan is to get Mamba updated to work with v1.0 after the Gadfly package, upon which Mamba depends, is working. Recent progress has reportedly been made on the latter, so I hope to be able to get to this soon. Otherwise, Mamba appears to be working for me on julia 0.6.x. Feel free to let me know if you encounter any issues there.

Excuse me because I'm a very new user (I'm losing access to Matlab) but does this mean I have to reinstall Julia as 0.6?

Julia 0.6 can be installed to run Mamba until it is updated to work on Julia 1.0. Multiple versions of Julia can be installed on the same computer.
