I don't have a Mac to test on, so others will hopefully be more useful. But
here's an explanation of what you're seeing:
- The error is being triggered when the package is first loaded. The reason
commenting out those lines didn't fix it is that they only affect whether it's
used when you read an image.
- Saying using Images a second time won't print an error, because it doesn't
reload the package---since Images is already defined, using Images just brings
in the existing namespace. If you say reload("Images") then you should be able
to trigger the error again.
If you want to try to fix this yourself, I'd recommend commenting out sections
of io/OSXnative.jl and saying reload("Images") until you isolate the
problematic line(s).
