Hi Bert, Not sure how this post is organized and that if you can read all the responses. My first message on this post lists the problem with regular and even nightly builds. They do not work. And according to Joao this happens due to a conflicting math library because I have R installed. He suggested I should build Julia from source. Looks like I am truly in a hole. I got exactly the right set of software and operating system that Julia just cannot work with - be it Windows or Linux. Currently I have two posts running and I have tried almost all suggestions at least for Linux system.
