Your error message (the first post) suggests a solution. Did you try those?
It is surprising that same OS gives problems on desktop but runs on laptop.
I am not an expert and I too had lot of trouble installing Julia and it had
to do with LLVM and certain processors. It seems certain processors can
only install Julia if you have LLVM ver3.3 or higher. But not sure if your
issue is similar.
I am sure some one will help you but I would first try what is being
suggested in your error message: *** Clean the OpenBLAS build with 'make -C
deps clean-openblas'. Rebuild with 'make OPENBLAS_USE_THREAD=0 if OpenBLAS
had trouble linking libpthread.so, and with 'make
OPENBLAS_TARGET_ARCH=NEHALEM' if there were errors building SandyBridge
support. Both these options can also be used simultaneously. ***
