Hey there,  
I’m trying to compile a project using the `PackageCompiler` module. The compilation is part of a `conda build` process, i.e. I’m trying to make and upload a bioconda package from my project. However, I get the following error during compilation: `ERROR: LoadError: LoadError: LoadError: LoadError: AssertionError: 0 < tid <= length(THREAD_RNGs)`  
See Stacktrace below. I am using the 1.6.2 version of Julia and the 1.6.0 PackageCompiler.

```

I think the command that produces the error is `PackageCompiler.create_app(projectdirectory, outdirectory; precompile_statements_file = precompiled, force = true)`.  
Could someone help me please? Thanks!

The package is calling `rand` in toplevel

[https://github.com/BioJulia/BioSequences.jl/blob/08a67d75d9e2005caa32a6f300c20092d521c431/src/longsequences/randseq.jl#L11](https://github.com/BioJulia/BioSequences.jl/blob/08a67d75d9e2005caa32a6f300c20092d521c431/src/longsequences/randseq.jl#L11)

But the rng is not fully functional in the process that creates the sysimage. However, we precompile things first to avoid this problem. I will try check what is going on.

Okay, thanks, that would be brilliant.

I just ran into this problem today, same assertion error. Thanks for looking into it!

[https://github.com/JuliaLang/PackageCompiler.jl/pull/579](https://github.com/JuliaLang/PackageCompiler.jl/pull/579) should fix it but I am still unclear why this is needed.

Also, I cannot reproduce this locally. More information about this would be good because it means an assumption I have is not completely correct.

For someone who has this error, could you run with ` ENV["JULIA_DEBUG"] = "loading"` before creating the sysimage?

Hmm. When I ran my `conda build` test again today, it worked fine. Creating the sysimage locally (independent from conda) didn’t error either. Should I still send the debug output?

Only useful when it errors. Anyway, I made a new release of PackageCompiler that should work around this even in the strange case. It should be available soon.

Can you reliably reproduce it on PackageCompiler 1.6? In that case, could you explain how?

</div>

So I rolled back to 1.6 and tried both locally and on the cluster and the assertion error returned. For reproducibility, I added XAM.jl to the MyApp example (added to dev’d package, only included “using XAM” in src/MyApp.jl) and it started failing with the same assertion error both locally and on the cluster.

I’m dealing with another issue or two ([PackageCompiler "create\_app" function failing on slurm cluster: "error: undefined reference to 'ceil'"](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/packagecompiler-create-app-function-failing-on-slurm-cluster-error-undefined-reference-to-ceil/69344)) but I don’t think that changes the conclusion that the PackageCompiler v1.6.0 issue can be reproduced with that XAM.jl package?

Please let me know if you need any more details!

Are you creating an app or a sysimage? If you are creating an app, could you pass `incremental=false` to check if that works around it?

I am trying to create an app, but unfortunately for neither the `error: undefined reference to 'ceil'` errors on the cluster nor the seg fault error locally (induced by trying to run post-compilation) does `incremental=false ` change anything.

Thank you again for your help and all ears for any other suggestions. Going to try dismantling my app or adding parts that might break the example app and see if anything changes. Will let you know if I find any possible causes.

Using PackageCompiler 1.7.2, I am still running into precisely this error when attempting to generate a sysimage containing Makie packages. The offending dependency appears to be TiffImages. I did not have this issue when precompiling Makie for my previous Julia installation (I recently upgraded from Julia 1.6.2 to 1.6.3). Is there any workaround/fix I can do here?

Should not be terribly relevant, but for completeness, here is the function I use to generate my sysimage:

```julia

    time_i = time()
    command = quote
        using PackageCompiler

In my scenario, I was using the `Random` library in the main module. Once I removed it (pushed to another module) all went fine.
