Start Julia problem

[jzen188]

Hi yihui,
I am trying your runr package in this moment.
My machine is window 7, 32bit...
After I set up the environment path,
I can call julia in the window cmd promt.
The Sys.which("julia") can return bin\ address.
I am using R 3.0.2 and the newest rstudio version 0.98.1062 right now. But when I try your example.
j$start()
Rstudio occur red stop label on the console top and can't conect to julia...Keep waiting..

I am using julia 0;3.1 right now. Sys.which return this.

Sys.which("julia")
julia
"D:\JULIA-~1.1\bin\julia.exe"

I set up julia at D:\Julia-0.3.1
Path variable I set this:
D:\Julia-0.3.1;D:\Julia-0.3.1\bin;

I can reproduce the problem on Windows, but sorry I have no idea why it happens in RStudio. In the default R GUI, it works fine except j$stop() hangs.

Hi yihui,
Thank you for your reply.
There is warning from knitr because I am using the old labtop R 3.0.2....
When I use the default R GUI, j$start() can run but can't run any julia code even I run your example
knitr_.....

labtop shows me a window check from firewall but I have no idea of that....Maybe this will start a good hint you find where is wrong. (I remember once time I install Hadoop in linux and set up the configuration no work...after I follow the set up of firewall/ssh, it worked...)

I check the window task management (ctrl + alt + del) it shows the julia.exe is on the process. (window 任务管理器-》进程栏 有 julia.exe运行，原谅我坚持蹩脚英文，预防其他非中文用户遇到此类情况）.j$stop() again load and julia.exe can't terminate until I manually stop it then the j$stop() end its process..

In case the julia code not being exeucuted is because my R version 3.0.2 not fitting knitr least requirement R version, I install a R 3.1.1 from Revolution R open....again...it not work...

The firewall issue is no big deal. You can give Julia access to the network.

I have never tested it on Windows until you brought it up, and I have no idea why it hangs on Windows. Sorry.
