At the moment, I doing experiments with the build from the ubuntu PPA [https://launchpad.net/~staticfloat/+archive/ubuntu/juliareleases](https://launchpad.net/~staticfloat/+archive/ubuntu/juliareleases) by @staticfloat. While the libjulia.so library is found in /usr/lib/x86\_64-linux-gnu/ as expected, a number of other shared libraries required by libjulia.so are installed into /usr/lib/x86\_64-linux-gnu/julia. ldd gives l…
