The latest version of Julia in the Portage tree is dev-lang/julia-0.3.0 I get runtime errors when trying to set up a plot julia> using PyPlot ERROR: LAPACKException(140544214827008) in include at /usr/bin/../lib/julia/sys.so in include_from_node1 at /usr/bin/../lib/julia/sys.so in include at /usr/bin/../lib/julia/sys.so in include_from_node1 at /usr/bin/../lib/julia/sys.so in include at /usr/bin/../lib/julia/sys.so in include_from_node1 at /usr/bin/../lib/julia/sys.so in include at /usr/bin/../lib/julia/sys.so in include_from_node1 at /usr/bin/../lib/julia/sys.so while loading /home/philip/.julia/v0.3/Colors/src/conversions.jl, in expression starting on line 717 while loading /home/philip/.julia/v0.3/Colors/src/Colors.jl, in expression starting on line 31 while loading /home/philip/.julia/v0.3/PyPlot/src/colormaps.jl, in expression starting on line 4 while loading /home/philip/.julia/v0.3/PyPlot/src/PyPlot.jl, in expression starting on line 489 The answer to my post on julia-users forum indicates the source of the problem: ( https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/julia-users/kbWAGtpVtH0 ) "0.3.0 is a year out of date, you should update to 0.3.11. Depending which BLAS implementation is being used there, you probably need to add USE_BLAS64=0 when you build. On master when you set USE_SYSTEM_BLAS we now default to USE_BLAS64=0 for non-MKL BLAS implementations." It would be superb if version julia-0.3.11 could be added to the Portage tree as soon as possible.
julia-0.4.3 is now in the tree (released December 2015). Please test and reopen if necessary. commit 9f85644c4b07c3b4340594082da6e3d317e9bea9 Author: Matthias Maier <tamiko@gentoo.org> Date: Sat Jan 16 12:25:10 2016 +0100 dev-lang/julia: version bump to 0.4.3 (bug 564338) Package-Manager: portage-2.2.26
