I have the exact same problem under OSX. Telnetting to github.com over port 9418 connects just fine. I've tried both the MacPorts install and the binary install from julialang.org with identical (failed) results. I've tried the git command suggested below and the connection fails again. The documentation link everyone keeps pointing us to ( https://github.com/julialang/julia#source-download-and-compilation <https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fjulialang%2Fjulia%23source-download-and-compilation&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNGWIckzKU-qJB0_oND_fbJtYHITaw>) doesn't address this situation, so please stop referring us to this.
I've also tried moving files into /usr/local/shared/julia/site/v0.3 to duplicate an install, but that's useless, as it thinks its still in that individual user's directory (there must be some hard coded paths somewhere in the installed packages). What's next, folks? -Jeff. :( On Saturday, August 2, 2014 at 12:34:15 PM UTC-4, Stefan Karpinski wrote: > > Julia is just using the git program, so the problem here must be with git > connecting to github.com over the git protocol.
