Thanks for the message.
While `brew install xz` had trouble, I found my /usr/local/include and
/usr/local/lib are owned by 'root:wheel', which means I have no write
permission. I am not sure why it is this way and what 'wheel' is. It
might have happened when I installed OSXFuse as there are OSXFuse related
files in there. But I chown'ed them to 'myself:admin' anyhow (other
directories under /usr/local have this ownership and I hope this is OK to
do). After this `brew install xz` succeeded.
Well, so far I get the sense that it is going to be quite messy for me to
use Julia on the Mac. I am prepared to take it gradually. I would hold on
reporting the unxz issue to Homebrew.jl, as I am a lot less confidant on
the Mac right now to say that it is actually an issue rather than my own
problem.
Aren't there many people using Julia on OSX?
