Installing rjulia on Ubuntu 15.04, R

[simone66b]

I can't get rjulia to install on my Ubuntu machine. I am running Ubuntu 15.04, julia 0.3.10 (compiled from source) and the latest R (see below) Here is the error message:

please check julia.h whether in your /usr/include/julia/ ? rjulia assume julia header file in JULIA_HOME/../include/ or JULIA_HOME/../include/julia/ ,and in your system JUALIA_HOME is /usr/bin ,so header file need in /usr/include or /usr/include/julia.

maybe you forgot install julia header file to /usr/include or /usr/include/julia ?

btw: on linux install rjulia please use
devtools::install_github("armgong/RJulia", ref="master")

only on windows need
devtools::install_github("armgong/RJulia", ref="master", args = "--no-multiarch")

OK. It seems that compiling from source doesn't put the header files where Ubuntu would like them to be. I installed from the .deb package and then successfully installed rjulia. Thanks!
