This error usually means that python can't find the julia executable. Try
running Pkg.build("IJulia") and see if there are any errors. If there are
no errors, then look in ~/.config/ipython/profile_julia/ipython_config.py.
The last line should be "c.KernelManager.kernel_cmd = ...". Does the Julia
binary referenced there actually exist? Can you shell out to it directly
