Emacs freezes when running Julia

Question

I would like to run the Julia REPL inside Emacs, but sadly emacs get frozen when I do so (whether I run from an emacs shell or from ESS run-julia). Does somebody has/had this problem, and if so how did you manage to fix it?

Answer 1

There is no run-julia in ESS. Use M-x julia. Your inferior-julia-program-name should point to your julia-basic. If you have julia-basic in your path, it should work by default.

To diagnose any problem, M-x julia and then go to *julia* buffer and see what is going wrong.
