Setting up IJulia

Question

I am trying to set up IJulia on my PC, but after I get it running I get the constant messages that "kernel has died" and there is a problem with ZMQ library.

Trying to rebuild or reinstall ZMQ does not work. I get an error:

================================[ BUILD ERRORS ]================================

WARNING: ZMQ had build errors.

 - packages with build errors remain installed in C:\Users\Gisaev\.julia\v0.3
 - build the package(s) and all dependencies with `Pkg.build("ZMQ")`
 - build a single package by running its `deps/build.jl` script

Trying to execute build.jl by line (part that correspond to windows) I get the error "Provider PackageManager faild to satisfy dependency zmq."

I am kind of lost here, because ZMQ is obviously correctly installed and working for IPython - IPython notebooks work just fine; I have a fresh installation from Anaconda.

I use Juno bundle, 64 bit, i believe it is v0.3.9. Ipython is from Anaconda 3.4 64 bit installation. — flipper, Jun 24 '15 at 15:02
Can you try starting Julia again and trying to build it again? Can you also post the full log from Pkg.add? The error may have occurred before that point. — IainDunning, Jun 24 '15 at 15:32

It seems that there is unfixed bug somewhere in Juno distribution. Latest 64 bit Juno is version 0.3.7 and it has this bug. If i install latest Julia 0.4.0 - zero MQ builds correctly and everything is fine with Ijulia notebooks using 0.4.0 version. — flipper, Jun 25 '15 at 13:33
I kind of ditched Juno - it is to buggy. Here is a nice tutorial on setting up Julia from scratch.http://quant-econ.net/jl/getting_started.html better go with ijulia and notebooks i guess. generally dissapointed with julia bugginess, compared to R it is a total mess... — flipper, Jan 03 '16 at 07:57

Try to run

Pkg.build("ZMQ")

to see what happens.

If there are warnings about "libpgm" and "zeromq32", you can delete the lib directories and then try to build ZMQ again.

rm -rf /Users/username/.julia/v0.x/Homebrew/deps/usr/Cellar/zeromq32/3.2.5
rm -rf /Users/username/.julia/v0.x/Homebrew/deps/usr/Cellar/libpgm/5.2.122
Pkg.build("ZMQ")

This will correctly build the libpgm and zeromq32 you needed.

(I suppose the operation system is OS X. If you are using Windows, please refer to Installing ZMQ on Windows 7+ seems to require admin privileges #69.)
