Thanks for the answer! However I don't do any C-programming and have no plans to start with it. I now tried to add the package on Mac OSX Yosemite using the Julia nightly build and that worked fine! i.e. problem solved. Another option for special functions seems to be using the PyCall package and running "@pyimport scipy.special".
