I just started using Julia and installed the FITSIO package. When loading it I get the following error
julia> using FITSIO

I tried to remove and add again the FITSIO package, but I always get the same error. The stacktrace seems to go to line 54 of FITSIO.jl So here is the content of this file from line 46 to 57
import .Libcfitsio: libcfitsio,
fits_assert_ok,
fits_assert_isascii,
TYPE_FROM_BITPIX
# HDU Types
@compat abstract type HDU end
type ImageHDU <: HDU
fitsfile::FITSFile
ext::Int
end
Do you know how to make this package work? Thanks :)
Here is the answer from the FITSIO developers:
The latest stable version of this package isn't compatible with Julia 1.0. This has been already fixed in the development version, but we haven't tagged a new version since then.
Remove FITSIO.jl with
pkg> rm FITSIO pkg> update pkg> add FITSIO pkg> dev FITSIOAfter the rm, make sure you don't have any FITSIO.jl leftover, then you can reinstall and switch to the development version within the package manager, without installing another package
