<br>
not really a solution (and I do not use Mathematica a whole lot), but<br>
apparently on can change what compiler is used and possible the issue<br>
is that the "wrong" one is found.<br>
<br>
See eg this commit:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://bitbucket.org/simulationtools/simulationtools/commits/2e578b0d31e365648097a3463c3e29ccbcd6b19f" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bitbucket.org/simulationtools/simulationtools/commits/2e578b0d31e365648097a3463c3e29ccbcd6b19f</a><br>
<br>
and maybe a similar change would help or at least point to MMA<br>
documentation on how to disable the compiler altogether.<br>
<br>
Yours,<br>
