No method matching Array

[simoman20]

I tried to follow the steps given, but I couldn't get past this error message. I'm running on julia 1.3.1.

$ julia fit.jl > fit.out
ERROR: LoadError: MethodError: no method matching Array(::Type{Float64}, ::Int64, ::Int64)

Any ideas?

This code was last tested on version 0.4 of Julia! It looks like the error message is from the package "MNIST", which is a dependency of my code. This package was probably never ported to a more recent version of Julia. I have no intention of updating "MNIST", which is not my package :-(

Given that my code is so out of date, there may be additional backward compatibility errors when trying to run the code using Julia 1.4

Aw. That's a shame. Trying the package on a current-day install of v0.4.7 (with today's version of MNIST, I suppose) would most likely result in the same, right?

I do not remember the exact version of Julia that I had running, but 0.4.7. should work
