I will give a talk on Julia in front of a group of Python users. The
presentation will make use of IJulia and the IPython notebook, and
everything
works really nice, including calling Python from Julia.
To make it even relevant for Python people I would like to show how to call
Julia from Python. So I installed the "julia" Python package within IJulia:
cd ~/.julia/v0.3/IJulia/python
sudo python setup.py install
After that, when calling Julia I get
>>> from julia import Julia
>>> j = Julia()
...
ValueError: Julia release library not found
searched /usr/lib/libjulia.so
and /usr/lib/libjulia.dylib
I can correct this in file ".../site-packages/julia/core.py" manually to
find
this library at "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/julia/libjulia.so":
>>> from julia import Julia
>>> j = Julia()
System image file "/usr/bin/../lib/julia/sys.ji" not found
and here, I apologize, I gave up.
(I tried the pyjulia Python package, too, but was not more successful.)
I am ready to install everything anew, Python, Julia, ..., but I have no
idea
what to do differently this time.
[Versioninfo: Ubuntu Linux 14.04, Python 2.7.6, Julia 0.3.0 latest]
