The readbytes() function used in examples/mnist/convert.jl seems to no longer be defined in Julia 0.6. Presumably it's from an earlier version of Julia.
Changing the two invocations of readbytes() to read(f, UInt8, count) fixes it:
line 43: img = read(data_f, UInt8, batch_size hw)
line 45: class = read(label_f, UInt8, batch_size)
