Tony and Jameson,
Thanks for looking into this. I don't have (easy) access to a Windows box
these days, so I can't really test it. There is an open issue on BinDeps
integration for Sundials.jl
(Sundials.jl/#6<https://github.com/JuliaLang/Sundials.jl/issues/6>),
which might be a good place to keep track of any progress on this.
Frederick,
The package assumes that the library files are already installed on your
machine, so Pkg.add("Sundials") is only one part of the installation
process. Having a working BinDeps integration will eventually make this
easier by downloading the right files for you etc.
For now, the link Tony provided (probably) gives you an archive with the
necessary files (mainly a bunch of DLLs). After you have extracted the
files, you have to let Julia know the path (via push!(DL_LOAD_PATH,
"C:/path/to/libDLLs/"); you can also put that in your ~/.juliarc.jl file).
After that Sudials.jl should (hopefully) work for you. It would be great if
you could try this ...
Best,
Alex.
