Cannot compile julia on ubuntu

New to Julia

Hi, are there any unexpected compilations issues on a plain vanilla ubuntu compilation from source? I am having issues compiling it, ubuntu 16.04. Seems like it is pointing to the locally compiled libraries but it cannot find them to link them. I am confused.

Just hit that as well:

I’ve hit these as well. Workaround: USE_BINARYBUILDER_SUITESPARSE=1.

Yep, I can confirm, I had this on ArchLinux too and USE_BINARYBUILDER_SUITESPARSE=1 solved it.

Fixed by https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/31102

As that PR is not yet merged, another workaround is:

make  # wait for it to fail
make -C deps distclean-suitesparse 
make -C deps compile-suitesparse CUDA=no
make

(of course one can use make -j... to speed it up)

Is the proposed solution to not use CUDA/GPU acceleration? Wouldn’t having as much GPU acceleration as possible be the optimal goal?

The proposed solution in the PR turns off CUDA just for suitesparse. I’m not sure if the CUDA functionality of suitesparse is accessible from Julia at all anyway, or whether it could even play along with other CUDA functionality in Julia, or in other Julia packages.
