[Pkg-julia-devel] Bug#755576: cannot open /etc/julia/juliarc.jl on startup (bug in abspath)

[Eric Marsden]

Package: julia
Version: 0.2.1+dfsg-3
Severity: serious

When invoking julia, it prints the error message below and exits.

   ERROR: could not open file /tmp//tmp//etc/julia/juliarc.jl
     in include at boot.jl:238

"julia -f" starts up OK.

Experimenting a little, it seems that the bug is in the abspath
function, which is called from load_juliarc in client.jl.

    julia> abspath("/foo")
    "/tmp//foo"

where "/tmp" is the CWD.
