How to install julia-0.5.0-rc0 on Ubuntu Linux

[Uwe Fechner]

Hello,

I am trying to install julia-0.5.0-rc0 .

I downloaded it from Github, unpacked it and executed
make -j4

The building failed after 10 minutes with the following
message:

 cblas_zhpr2  PASSED THE COMPUTATIONAL TESTS (   577 CALLS)
 cblas_zhpr2  PASSED THE COMPUTATIONAL TESTS (   577 CALLS)

 END OF TESTS
OK.

 OpenBLAS build complete. (BLAS CBLAS LAPACK LAPACKE)

  OS               ... Linux            
  Architecture     ... x86_64              
  BINARY           ... 64bit                
  Use 64 bits int    (equivalent to "-i8" in Fortran)      
  C compiler       ... GCC  (command line : gcc -m64)
  Fortran compiler ... GFORTRAN  (command line : gfortran -m64)
  Library Name     ... libopenblas64_p-r0.2.18.a (Multi threaded; Max num-threads is 16)

To install the library, you can run "make PREFIX=/path/to/your/installation install".

make: *** [julia-deps] Error 2

How can I fix this?

I am using Ubuntu 14.04.

Best regards:

Uwe

Can you run it without -j4 and post the last messages? Those reported
here don't seem related to the failure.

I did. Took very long, but now there is a better error message:

Any idea, how to fix this?

As the error message relates to a missing OpenSSL ->
try to find setttings for: OPENSSL_LIBRARIES OPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR, it might be an idea to install the openSSL development package.

[Uwe Fechner]

The following command fixed the problem:

sudo apt-get install libssl-dev

Perhaps this command could be mentioned in the section "Ubuntu" of Readme.md ?

it actually is, in section Required Build Tools and External Libraries

Thanks.
