How to install Julia programming language on centos 6 64 bit

So I had some major issues installing Julia in 64 bit. I finally was able to get it working this way:

yum -y install java-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64 libXp openmotif openmotif22 python.x86_64 numpy* ncurses-devel gcc gcc-c++ autoconf automake; yum -y groupinstall "Development Tools" 

then I did make -j4, since I had the atom processor I also did a openblas flag edit in Make.inc

OPENBLAS_USE_THREAD=4
OPENBLAS_TARGET_ARCH=BONNELL


Now when I run make, it runs forever, and then it works fine and I can run:

./julia
