I’m trying to start using BinaryBuilder but have no success even for the simplest cases. E.g. I download [https://github.com/JuliaPackaging/Yggdrasil/blob/master/H/HelloWorldFortran/build\_tarballs.jl](https://github.com/JuliaPackaging/Yggdrasil/blob/master/H/HelloWorldFortran/build_tarballs.jl) and run it as `julia build_tarballs.jl`. The result is:

```julia
You tried to run 'f77' which requires the 'c' shard; add 'compilers=[:c]' to your invocation!
Previous command exited with 1
ERROR: LoadError: Build for HelloWorldFortran on i686-linux-gnu-libgfortran3 did not complete successfully

```

I tried passing `compilers=[:c]` into `build_tarballs` in the script, but nothing changed. Executing `gcc` also shows the same error. Also tried `BINARYBUILDER_RUNNER="privileged"`.  
Am I missing something obvious? As I understand the docs, the `build_tarballs.jl` script should work when downloaded and executed individually.

If that’s important, I use gentoo with 4.19 kernel, version 1.4 of julia, and version 0.2.4 of binarybuilder.

What version of BinaryBuilder is that? 🤔

` [12aac903] BinaryBuilder v0.2.4` - I thinks this is the latest version. Julia is 1.4.

Can you please show the full stacktrace? I can’t find the error message anywhere.

**Edit** : ok, I found from [where the message is coming from](https://github.com/JuliaPackaging/Yggdrasil/blob/da68fafa25d20e22089b98cd5c27e6552836112f/0_RootFS/Rootfs/bundled/conf/profile.d/compiler_hints.sh)

The full stacktrace anyway, may be it is helpful.

Turns out this issue is machine-specific somehow. I tried running the very same script with the same julia version at another computer, and the build was successful.  
Still have no idea why it doesn’t work on one machine…
