julia> Pkg.status()

    what do you mean by "do not respond"? The expected behavior of loading a package is make all of it's exports available and then just put you back at the prompt. What happens when you type `Distance` at the prompt after doing `using Distance`? – James Porter Jun 08 '14 at 19:16
  • The problem is that it never gets back to the prompt. With other packages, for me it works as expected. – kahlo Jun 09 '14 at 08:09
  • huh, that is very odd, I've never heard of a package doing that. I would first try deleting your `~/.julia` and reinstalling your packages, and then if that doesn't fix it file an issue on the Distance.jl repo: https://github.com/JuliaStats/Distance.jl/issues – James Porter Jun 09 '14 at 15:21
  • Thanks James for your help. I have tried to reinstall the package as well as to remove the `~/.julia` folder but the problem persists. I have just filed the issue. – kahlo Jun 09 '14 at 16:23
  • Doubt this is still a problem for you but https://github.com/JuliaStats/Distance.jl says Distance is deprecated, use https://github.com/JuliaStats/Distances.jl instead – JobJob Sep 17 '14 at 23:20
