I encountered an issue when trying to precompile `ITensor` on Julia v1.11.1. `[9136182c] ITensors v0.6.21` After running `pkg> precompile`, I received the following error message:  
‘’’  
Precompiling project…  
✗ ITensors → ITensorsPackageCompilerExt  
0 dependencies successfully precompiled in 24 seconds. 293 already precompiled.

ERROR: The following 1 direct dependency failed to precompile:

I can not find `ITensorsPackageCompilerExt` in `manifest.toml`  
After running `pkg> up`, I received the same error message. Any guidance on resolving this would be greatly appreciated!

Hello Ajuum,

I just compiled the newest version of Julia 1.11.1 and the ITensor v0.6.21 and do not see any issue compiling.  
I ran this test with the following commands

```julia
julia> using Pkg
julia> Pkg.activate(temp=true)
  Activating new project at `/tmp/jl_iQDNi4`
julia> Pkg.add("ITensors")

```

It looks like you are compiling 293 packages, can you please provide the list using the command `julia>]st` command?  
Thanks,  
Karl
