The latest versions of Turing are not compatible with Julia 1.7 yet. It is blocked by Libtask whose binary dependencies have to be linked against specific Julia versions and which is broken on Julia 1.7.

Is there an issue on julia side that tracks this? I couldn't find anything

[devmotion]

It's not a Julia but a Libtask issue (see e.g. TuringLang/Libtask.jl#91 and TuringLang/Libtask.jl#94). Currently, Libtask is redesigned in a way that avoids these problems (but has some other limitations currently): TuringLang/Libtask.jl#93

Going to close this and reopen the pinned version of this, so we can keep track of any updates on just the pinned version
