Sry but I followed precisely ur steps i.e.: I installed a completely new version in D:\Julia\Julia-0.5.0 and added an environment variable JULIA_PKGDIR within D:\Julia because I didn't like the default one. I then initialized by Pkg.init() I ran Pkg.update() (prob not needed here coz its new) I ran: Pkg.clone("https://github.com/Nemocas/Nemo.jl") I exitted and restarted julia I ran: Pkg.build("Nemo") and stumbled across:
