julia JuMP with v0.7

Question

I tried building JuMP after compiling v0.7 but am getting errors:

ERROR: LoadError: Failed to precompile ReverseDiffSparse to /Users/MYUSER/.julia/lib/v0.7/ReverseDiffSparse.ji.
Stacktrace:

How do I interpret these / how can I build JuMP for the latest version 0.7?

There is a warning to not expect packages to work with unreleased versions of Julia. As of the time of this post, Julia v0.7 is not released. Not even the alpha of Julia v0.7 has been released: right now it's really just for the language and compiler developers. Thus you shouldn't expect JuMP to have been updated yet. — Chris Rackauckas

If you look at the original error message you'll probably see that StaticArrays (one of JuMP's indirect dependencies) does not load on 0.7. Anyway Julia 0.7 is in a pre-alpha state; there are no tagged prereleases of it yet as of today. It has lots of cool features, but I'd only recommend using it at this point if you're comfortable fixing broken packages and deprecation warnings.
