Hi Dustin,  
I hope you’re enjoying work at Google Brain and thank you for Edward.

I recompile TF 1.9 from source using Intel MKL on Mac OS 1.13.6, Python 3.6.5 and Edward 1.3.5 does not work with it.

Someone submitted a pull request

> <https://github.com/blei-lab/edward/issues/893#issuecomment-388792874>

to change a method, but even with that mod to my own copy of Edward, it still will not execute the inference statement at the end of your “Getting Started” demo.

I get this error:

~/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/tensorflow/python/framework/ops.py in \_reconstruct\_sequence\_inputs(self, op\_def, inputs, attrs)  
1823 grouped\_inputs.append(inputs[i:i + input\_len])  
1824 else:  
-\> 1825 grouped\_inputs.append(inputs[i])  
1826 i += input\_len  
1827

IndexError: list index out of range

Thank you in advance.
