Hi I run Julia on Xubuntu 13.10. A fresh git pull and make works for me (I just rebuilt to check, to Version 0.3.0-prerelease+1281, commit f384033*). The section, "Required Build Tools and External Libraries" on https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia lists everything required to compile Julia on Xubuntu (and, this is not an onerous task). It should not be necessary to switch to Ubuntu. I am on an 8-core Intel i7-2600, but I doubt that matters...
I encourage you to try again (ensure to `make cleanall' first). I have successfully compiled/run Julia on all flavors of Xubuntu from 11.10 (or so) onwards. Closely inspect the output if it doesn't succeed; informative error messages should be present. Good luck, Edward On Monday, January 27, 2014 10:41:36 PM UTC-5, Rajn wrote: > > Hi, > I am having good time coding in Julia on my Windows at work.
