Changing the branch and compiling threw these errors : https://gist.github.com/svaksha/5082efefc8e4cb4c2478, and the machine is still on 0.4.3 instead of 0.4.5. Any ideas ? In Ubuntu, I was able to use both versions but the same technique does not work in Debian. Its a work machine so I will check the paths tomorrow. > Given how easy this is, and how Julia produces no clutter, I am not sure > that a Debian package justifies the effort. I agree but I was curious - debian is a wee bit stricter than ubuntu with respect to official packages, so I was wondering if the PPA was backported (for lack of a better term) between distros as they use the same package manager.
