I just submitted a pull request
here https://github.com/JuliaLang/Sundials.jl/pull/12, comments welcome.
In the meantime you can test this out as follows (you might need to do
Pkg.rm("Sundials") first):
Pkg.clone("https://github.com/tkelman/Sundials.jl";)
Pkg.checkout("bindeps")
Pkg.build("Sundials")
# restart Julia here for good measure
using Sundials
This should automatically build Sundials from source on Linux or Mac, or
automatically download binaries for you on Windows. Hopefully you won't
need to manually mess with load path, juliarc, etc. If this gets merged and
tagged, then it should happen immediately from Pkg.add("Sundials").
