Error building on Julia 1.1 | Mac and NextJournal

[mapmeld]

I haven't been able to build XGBoost on either platform due to this error with DMatrix; I am new to Julia so please let me know if I might just be Doing It Wrong

The same problem for me... and mine is Ubuntu.

I'm not an expert in Julia, could you provide more details? Like are you building with master branch? BTW, is the Julia package using CMake?

[trivialfis]

Okay, now I understand how Julia pkg is built. Will try to upgrade XGBoost version when time allows.

[aviks]

this is fixed by #66.

Thanks!
