Hello, I am running Ubuntu with Julia 0.3.1 installed from PPA. I want to figure out where my Julia base directory is so I can create a userimg.jl file so I can pre-compile some modules that I use often. I got the idea from here:
https://github.com/JuliaLang/Gtk.jl/blob/master/doc/precompilation.md The problem is that I cannot figure out where my jula/base directory is. It appears to be nowhere. I have two candidate directories: /usr/share/julia /usr/local/julia My Julia version is 0.3.1. The file /usr/share/julia/VERSION says it is 0.3.0-prerelease. On the other hand, /var/lib/dpkg/info/julia.list seems to say that /usr/share/julia is the correct directory. So that doesn't make sense. The other directory --- /usr/local/julia --- does not have any VERSION file or anything that I could that would tell me what version of Julia it is for. I tried adding the "userimg.jl" file to both directories, but that didn't do anything. Even more strangely, neither directory one seems to be required for Julia to run. Look: $ sudo mv /usr/share/julia $HOME/usr-share-julia $ sudo mv /usr/local/julia $HOME/usr-local-julia $ $ julia --version julia version 0.3.1 $ $ julia _ _ _ _(_)_ | A fresh approach to technical computing (_) | (_) (_) | Documentation: http://docs.julialang.org _ _ _| |_ __ _ | Type "help()" for help. | | | | | | |/ _` | | | | |_| | | | (_| | | Version 0.3.1 (2014-09-21 21:30 UTC) _/ |\__'_|_|_|\__'_| | Official http://julialang.org release |__/ | x86_64-linux-gnu julia> In other words, neither of those directories seems to be needed to run Julia. So, I am completely stuck. I have two "base" directories, neither of which seems to do anything. Can anyone help me out? Cheers, Daniel.
