OpenModelica IBPSA example error spatialDistribution

Question

I'm quite new to Modelica and I'm trying to understand some basic examples. I'm looking at the example IBPSA.Fluid.FixedResistances.Examples.PlugFlowPipe and checking this model gives me the following error

Number of classes to check: 2 
Checking: model IBPSA.Fluid.FixedResistances.Examples.PlugFlowPipe... 0.2350000000001273 seconds -> FAILED! 

Error String: 

Error Buffer: 
Warning: Requested package Modelica of version 3.2.2, but this package was already loaded with version 3.2.3. You might experience problems if these versions are incompatible.

It seems that the module pip.cor.timDel uses the function spatialDistributuon. My guess is that there is something wrong with pip.cor.timDel.t_in_start or pip.cor.timDel.t_out_start? It would be greatly appreciated if someone could help me with this.

P.S. I'm using OMEdit v1.14.0 on windows 10 with Modelica library v3.2.3

OpenModelica does not support the function spatialDistribution yet, i opened a ticket on Trac where you can follow for the current development status.
