I'll caution you that even if you get it working on that machine, you may encounter further problems once you start trying it out. Even the packages shipped with CentOS 6.4---similar to RH 6.4, which is two years newer than 5.6---are on the verge of being too old to be useful. (The version of git shipped with 6.4, for example, has already caused some trouble; there's no Gtk3 on 6.4, and the version of Gtk2 shipped with 6.4 doesn't currently work with the Gtk package for reasons I haven't yet tracked down, etc.) I can imagine that a lot of the C libraries that are wrapped in Julia's packages simply won't work on your machine.
This is mostly a RH/CentOS problem, as the packages shipped with Ubuntu 12.04 (approximately contemporaneous with RH 6.4) are fine. I suspect you'll be a lot less frustrated if you just give up now and find a different machine to run Julia on. Julia is a new language, and running new (and fast-moving) software on old platforms rarely works to your satisfaction. --Tim On Sunday, February 16, 2014 08:03:16 PM [email protected] wrote: > It's really, really frustrate for me to compile Julia in our RedHat server. > Anyone who can share me a binary Julia compiled in Red Hat system?
