Good news!

I found Julia in Slackware's SlackBuilds repository.

I'll install it tomorrow and let you know how it goes.

Julia is now installed but it's giving me an error when I run the command.

This is the command that I am running.

julia ../bin/prompts2wlist.jl prompts.txt wlist

Running that command gives me this error:

julia: error while loading shared libraries: libjulia.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

Does this mean that I'm missing the libjulia.so file?

BTW I found the file "libjulia.so"

It's in the /usr/lib64/julia/ directory of mine.

Could it be that the file is installed to the wrong place?

Now running the julia cmd gives me an error and it looks like I need to install

Warning: error initializing module LinAlg:
ErrorException("error compiling __init__: error compiling check_blas: error compiling blas_vendor: could not load module libopenblas: libopenblas: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory")
Warning: error initializing module Random:

Looks like I need to install libdsfmt.

I found libopenblas and downloaded it but I'm not finding libdsfmt anywhere.

If I can't find libdsfmt I think this is where I'll have to throw the towel in.

 kmaclean is everything ok?

You were helping me but I haven't heard anything since Thanksgiving.

Are you at the end of your rope with this thing?

If so, I've appreciate your efforts.

If you want to use Simon, why are you trying to install julia?  julia is *not* required for Simon.
