I’m running Julia in a very minimal Linux container environment with a largely read-only filesystem. The system is based on Arch Linux, and Julia was just installed from Arch’s repositories (pacman -Syu julia, version 1.7.1). Whenever I try to run Julia on anything, even an empty program file, I get the following error message:
fatal: error thrown and no exception handler available.
InitError(mod=:Base, error=Base.IOError(msg="homedir(): no such file or directory (ENOENT)", code=-2))

I think this must be to do with the strange environment I’m running Julia in, but I can’t decipher the error message to work out what I’ve done wrong. Can anyone suggest what this might mean, so I can try to work around the limitations?
