For some reason your Julia build is missing the build number, which will break Compat and presumably a lot of packages. If you built Julia with NO_GIT=1, then this may be JuliaLang/julia#10851.

Well, i didn't intentially build with NO_GIT=1. I was following the instructions in https://github.com/Keno/Cxx.jl to build a v0.4 with addtional Make.user.

Does this qualify for a julia issue?

@simonster:

I somehow managed by make distclean + make to get a Version 0.4.0-dev+4829 which now let's me start using DataStructures without error message.
