IJulia install error

[Marcio Sales]

Hello.
When trying to install IJulia on Windows, I get the following error. Any idea of what went wrong?

failed to download libstdc++6 0 from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/windows:/mingw:/win64/openSUSE_13.1//noarch/mingw64-libstdc++6-5.1.0-2.2.noarch.rpm.
while loading C:\Users\MarcioHenrique\.julia\v0.3\ZMQ\deps\build.jl, in expression starting on line 23

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.

ZMQ on Windows shouldn't need a compiler installed; it downloads a precompiled binary.

If the error is "failed to download X" then usually it means you are behind a firewall or something that is blocking the download.

I don't know. I got a specific error message that said it couldn't find a C++ compiler and when I downloaded a compiler everything went fine.​

Which compiler did you download (for Windows)?

[lawrence dworsky]

This is embarrassing - I'm not 100% sure. However, I find it in a mingw folder, so I guess that's what I grabbed. 

If you don't see a message on the REPL specifically saying that ZMQ needs this, then​ I wouldn't bet on it helping you.

I probably should also mention that this is all Windows.

Thanks

It didnt mention any compiling problems. Also I dont think it is a firewall problem as I work in a home PC with basic windows security. This is weird...
