Hi,

I’m running into some issues after installing Julia 1.6.2 on a google TPU VM (just in case: a TPU VM is not the same as a TPU node). Would anyone happen to have run into this sort of issue before?

For instance, when I exit Julia, I get the following error:

```julia
julia> exit()
munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer

I get these errors both with the standard way of installing Julia described on the installation page as well as with the python helper package `jill`.

Info about the virtual machine, in case helpful:

```julia
ymh@t1v-n-c8437338-w-0:~$ uname --a
Linux t1v-n-c8437338-w-0 5.4.0-1043-gcp #46-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 19 19:17:04 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

```

I’m new to Linux and TPU VMs, so let me know if there’s info I should add that I haven’t already.

I just ran into what seems like the same issue. Have you found any solution? I posted in [slack](https://julialang.slack.com/archives/C6A044SQH/p1645144151404399) and [zulip](https://julialang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/274208-helpdesk-.28published.29/topic/on.20tpu-vm.20crashes.20with.20invalid.20pointer/near/272347905). A small thing I noticed while trying to check the glibc is that running the libx.so.6 gives a segfault, instead of displaying the usual glibc version info. Maybe google is using their own glibc?

```julia
$ /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I basically just gave up on trying to use Julia on TPU VMs (even for non-TPU-involving tasks).

Did either of you try to build julia in this environment? Do you have a working curl inside the vm?

You may need to explicitly build libcurl and libgit2 from scratch. Consider the variables `USE_BINARYBUILDER=0` or maybe `USE_SYSTEM_CURL = 1`.

[https://github.com/conda-forge/julia-feedstock/blob/master/recipe/build.sh#L47](https://github.com/conda-forge/julia-feedstock/blob/master/recipe/build.sh#L47)

You can see the heavily hacked up conda-forge recipe for a lot of the options you can use.

For example, perhaps you want to `USE_BINARYBUILDER_LIBGIT2 = 0` if libgit2 is specifically having issues.

Failing that, I would highly recommend a Github Issue for this kind of technical issue.

The build failed. The errors seem to be the same (double free in this case):

Thanks for the advice @mkitti! I don’t see an obvious reason for the failure, but I’ll try the flags you recommend and open a github issue.
