I had a (fixable) problem installing on my Macbook Air. Upon first launch
in a terminal window I got this error:
Warning: error initializing module LinAlg:
ErrorException("error compiling __init__: error compiling check_blas: error
compiling openblas_get_config: could not load module libopenblas:
dlopen(libopenblas.dylib, 1): Library not loaded:
/usr/local/Cellar/gcc/4.9.2_1/lib/gcc/4.9/libquadmath.0.dylib
Referenced from:
/Applications/Julia-0.3.4.app/Contents/Resources/julia/lib/julia//libgfortran.3.dylib
Reason: image not found")
Julia then started up but (not surprisingly) it wouldn't invert a matrix.
The reference to "cellar" suggested a homebrew fix so I did
$ brew install homebrew/science/openblas
and relaunched Julia. All seems fine now. My Julia 0.3.3 worked fine. I
think making the distribution self-contained would be preferable. Or might
there be something odd with my setup?
