[julia-users] MUMPS server workaround?

I have been trying to add Ipopt to Julia on a new computer (Ubuntu 64-bit) today, and I am running into the issue of the MUMPS server being down. Is it at all possible to tell Julia to download MUMPS from another server such as ANL ? It seems

I'd like to get a right null vector of a large, sparse matrix. My plan is to use SPQR (although I'm happy to consider alternatives). The documentation for SPQR states that if QR factorization is applied to a matrix that does not have full column rank, then a 'squeezed' R factor is computed

It seems that no one has gotten back to you about your question, most probably because there isn't a good answer. The main Dict class in Julia isn't built for concurrent programming. Until v0.5 (about to be released), Julia only had multi-process parallelism with message passing and shared

I can improve the output quality of IPython quite dramatically by using the following commands %matplotlib inline %config InlineBackend.figure_format = 'svg' import matplotlib.pyplot as plt plt.plot([1,2],[1,2]) Is there something equivalent in Julia? I know magics don't work in IJulia, but

Alchemy is like an inductive Turing machine, to be programmed to learn broadly or restrictedly. The logic formulas from rules through which it represents can be inconsistent, incomplete, or even incorrect-- the learning and probabilistic reasoning will correct them. The key point is that

I almost think that you may need to come up with your own structure, instead of a Vector of Vectors, to avoid the problems you are having. The nice thing about Julia, you'd be able to make your own data structure <: AbstractArray, and be able to use it with many Julia functions. For example,

In fact, both the old and new versions of libuv seem to fail their test suites on WSL. I imagine they tie into the system calls pretty tightly and Microsoft may not have implemented them all fully or correctly as of the moment. Perhaps things will improve with the next release of WSL. Bill.

Julia seems to use an old version of libuv. People have noticed that libuv has problems on WSL. I don't know whether these have been fixed or not. I couldn't find any specific tickets for it. But perhaps the latest libuv works on WSL and maybe that points to a possible solution. Bill.

Yes. We are stricter now. LAPACK doesn't check for symmetry at all which we used to mimic. It might seem pedantic but it will capture programming errors and it is more in line with how check things elsewhere and it's in line with the behavior for the sparse Cholesky. For now, you'd need to use
