Hi I’m trying to install CUDA.jl, but its dependency AbstractFFTs keeps failing. Here is an output from the session. Is there any way to debug it? Is the problem on my end? Neither Julia 1.8, 1.7, nor 1.6 works.

There were a lot of similar issues recently, mostly connected to precompilation spinning up to much BLAS threads. It happened mostly on AMD machines, but it would seem it affects those with high core count, like yours.
Please try the newest version (1.8.2) as it resolved most of the issues reported.

The error message suggests
```julia

Have you tried running `Pkg.instantiate()`?

Of course. The highlighting on the pasted REPL session isn’t very readable, but it is right below where it recommends that.

Apologies, I must have missed that. Could you run
```julia
import Pkg; Pkg.precompile()
```
in the repl instead of `precompile` in the pkg mode? This sometimes provides additional information about the error.
In any case, worth checking if v1.8.2 resolves the issue.

Sadly, 1.8.2 does not fix the issue. and `import Pkg; Pkg.precompile()` provides no additional info.

This seems quite strange, could you share your project and manifest files so that I may try to reproduce this?

Whoops, sorry discourse did not send me a notification. There is no project or manifest file involved, sadly.
The steps to reproduce the issue are rather simple. On a fresh machine with julia 1.6-1.8 do:
1. `]generate problem`
2. `]activate problem`
3. `]add AbstractFFTs`
4. have a problem.
☹ I have still not resolved it, so if you have any suggestions, I’m all ears!

Well, yeah, sure… I know counter-examples exist. That’s not the problem.
The problem is that it does not work on two other machines and I can’t figure out why. It could be anything, but julia just gives me “Can’t let you do that, Dave.”
I don’t own the server and those who do do not know julia. I would appreciate some help debugging the problem.

I tested it on a similar machine (EPYC 7453) but on Windows and also could not replicate.
Not working on Linux regularly, so have no idea if this is normal or not:
In your example, erroring libraries point to `/mnt/appl_common/software/Julia/`, while Julia itself shows this: `LD_LIBRARY_PATH = /mnt/appl/software/Julia/`
Might there be two instances of Julia on the server, e.g. on installed by admins and one you installed yourself that interfere with each other?

Huh… did not notice that. But the folders are just a symlinked together.
Although, Cuda.jl complained about AbstractFFTs which complained about ChainRulesCore which complained about a missing source file with no more info. I’m not sure why I did not notice that before.
**Installing ChainRulesCode straight from the repo worked** , though. I guess I can close this, but it would be nice to understand what is going on.
