Hi, On the Github (or perhaps on the download?) page of Julia there are instructions as to what you should do when 'make' fails. There is a procedure for BLAS failure mentioned there. You have to make a new file if it already does not exist called Make.user and then type in those commands. Then do a 'make clean' or 'make cleanall' and then try 'make' again. Maybe you already tried it?
