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?
