[julia-users] how to move Julia packages from Ubuntu to OSX?

2015-06-12 Thread K leo
I just installed Julia on a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.0.3 (I am new to OSX). Installed Julia in the Applications folder. But for the packages that I have been using on Ubuntu, I copied the whole directory ~/.julia from Ubuntu to the Mac. Then I did a Pkg.build() in Julia. Things seem OK

I'm not sure, but there seems to be some issues with homebrew on OSX which is the basis to use libraries like cairo, pango etc. So it could be the copy of the julia part of the package is correct, while the libraries the package tries to call isn't. Check both Cairo.jl and Homebrew.jl issues.

Without a specific example it's hard to say anything. Matlab can be faster for some cases, but Julia should be faster in many cases, if you write your code correctly.
