Hello again and thanks a lot for the suggestions.
Thing is, I went back to the source version of Julia where Cxx is already
built and
runs properly, so there wasn't much for me to do, I run in terminal also
the command of:
"addHeaderDir("/home/kostav/julia/src/")"
Then proceeded again with make install and run the version of julia from
this folder but
still not being able to use or install Cxx. So, maybe I didn't understand
properly what you
were suggesting for me to do in the source version of Julia...
Or maybe there is sth else I should try..?
