Hi. I just loaded Julia 0.4.5 and entered the starting line of your installation instructions: Pkg.checkout("Gtk"). I get the error message ERROR: Gtk is not a git repot in checkout at pkg/entry.jl:203 Is there something else I need to load first, or what am I doing wrong? Thanks Larry

How does this compare to the "old standard?" 1. Fortran requires every variable to have a defined type, but automatically defaults to floating or integer type based on the first letter of the variable name. Or, you can pre-define your own sets of first-letter defaults with the Implicit

2015-09-22 Thread LarryD
Something I miss from Fortran is the very convenient default "print *, . " It handled almost 100% of my needs while working on a program and was easily replaced by real formatting when the time came. Is there any chance that Julia could get something like this? Thanks On Monday,

I had the same problem. It turned out that ZMQ had problems because it couldn't find a C++ compiler. I downloaded a C++ compiler, then rebuilt ZMQ and now IJulia runs fine. On Friday, August 28, 2015 at 5:33:42 PM UTC-5, Marcio Sales wrote: Hello. When trying to install IJulia on Windows, I

. As far as I know, there are no real Beginning Programming books using Julia. 2. Right now Julia is changing often as it's developed; however I suspect the changes won't affect a beginner's programs too much. Good Luck LarryD On Tuesday, August 4, 2015 at 10:34:40 AM UTC-5, phineas vang wrote

When I start Juno, I wait ~10 secs for spinning to complete. Then if I need, say, using pyplot, I wait another ~15 secs. I am just learning Julia, so I often make mistakes in my test programs, and it's not uncommon to need to interrupt Julia to stop something I inadvertently created. But

with C. There's a fairly old issue about implementing fcall https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/2167 (cf ccall), which natively emits calls using the Fortran calling convention. Have you tried calling code compiled with this compiler and had problems? On Saturday, July 11, 2015, LarryD
