[Pkg-julia-devel] Bug#758783: julia: does not start with -p option specified

[Frederik Beaujean]

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

Dear Maintainer,

I wanted to try the parallel capabilities of julia. Following the manual, I tried to start it up as
$ julia -p 2
Master process (id 1) could not connect within 60.0 seconds.
exiting.
Master process (id 1) could not connect within 60.0 seconds.
exiting.

Master process (id 1) could not connect within 60.0 seconds.
exiting.
Master process (id 1) could not connect within 60.0 seconds.
exiting.
^C

The same happens even with one process
$ julia -p 1
Master process (id 1) could not connect within 60.0 seconds.
exiting.
Master process (id 1) could not connect within 60.0 seconds.
exiting.
Master process (id 1) could not connect within 60.0 seconds.
exiting.
^C

and I never get to do anything.

To start julia at all, I had to use julia -f due to this outstanding bug #755576

bye

Fred
