Okay, at home I have a mac and so I just downloaded the packages that
`Pkg.add("IJulia")` installed on my home machine, because I wasn't sure
what packages IJulia depended on, and I didn't want to sift through the
source code. So I've now deleted the Homebrew directory.
`using WinRPM` does nothing... no errors. It just returns the julia prompt
again.
If it helps any, i'm attaching a screenshot of the Julia packages I have
downloaded and placed into ~/.julia/v0.3/
I appreciate the help.
