libamos error running ubuntu binaries

[andychu]

I tried compiling it first but got some errors there. Then I ran Ubuntu binaries and am getting a shared library error.

julia$ cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=11.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=natty
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 11.04"

julia$ ./julia
libamos.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
error during init:
could not load module libamos
in dlopen, /scratch/julia/julia/j/base.j:97
at string:15

julia$ find| grep amos

-> Nothing called "amos" in the tarball

Doesn't appear in my package repo:

julia$ sudo apt-cache search amos

Ah, I think we have forgotten to include libamos in the distribution.

Fixed on linux. Can you try it now? Will update mac binaries tonight.

Great, got a hello world program to work. Thanks for the quick fix, and the language looks really exciting so far.

Although I am wondering why it takes more than 2 seconds to start up ? I will file another issue about that.

See issue #260. We are well aware of this. It's due to our run-time code generation; on startup many methods need to be compiled to native code. Even though it is compiling a couple hundred methods a second, the delay is still annoying.

I faced the same issue with the previous installer.
Things seem to be working fine now.
