julia_setup() Error

[wpeterman]

When trying to run julia_setup with R 3.5.2, I get the error pasted below. I'm not sure where to begin troubleshooting this issue. I've previously had no problems with this same computer running JuliaCall with julia v0.6.3 on R 3.5.0

[Non-Contradiction]

Thanks for the feedback!

Maybe you can try to solve the problem by usingJuliaCall::julia_setup(JULIA_HOME = "/users/PAS1396/osu10267/local/julia/1.1.0/bin", rebuild = TRUE) in R, or run using Pkg; Pkg.build("RCall") in Julia.

[wpeterman]

Thanks. Rebuilding in Julia worked with one side effect: all printed outputs to the Julia console are transferred/printed to the R console. This is annoying, but manageable.

[Non-Contradiction]

Yeah. The rebuilding output can be quite annoying. But the good thing is that rebuilding does not need to run every time., and the information in the rebuilding stage can be beneficial if something goes wrong. If rebuilding is required repeatedly, then something is wrong, and you are welcome to reopen this issue again. Thanks for the feedback!
