Julia packages tend to use system packages when they are available via yum, apt-get, etc If you run into a package that does not use yum when it should, and it doesn't install properly, open an issue on that package's issue tracker, (you can usually find the Github repository for any given pack

It is now working and resolved! Thank you all and I just followed Elliot's advice on downloading the binary 64-bit file. I have a follow up question - if I have to download packages do I need to worry that I have an old version of compiler - or does everything works as usual? On Tuesday, Octo

Ok I will try that but I just found out that I have gcc 4.4.7 version and when I try to install with yum it says this is the latest. I read that gcc 4.6 and higher is preferred. Does that look like a dead end? Thanks On Tuesday, October 14, 2014 3:41:26 PM UTC-4, Stefan Karpinski wrote: > > Buil
