I was trying to build Julia from source on an Ubuntu 17.10 system and I’m seeing messages like the following when it tries to download various source packages:

I have the same issue. Please check with your package manager that `libunwind` exists for your system (I am not using Ubuntu, but AFAIK, it should be something like `apt-cache search libunwind`), and if it exists, please install it with `apt-get`. Then you can put `USE_SYSTEM_LIBUNWIND=1` into your `Make.user` file and proceed with the installation: `make clean && make && make test && make install`. I hope this helps.

**EDIT.** Unfortunately, this method fails later on in the build process, when testing against `(UNW_VERSION_MAJOR == 1 && UNW_VERSION_MINOR > 1))`, at least on my system.

That seemed to work for me. Is this an issue that should be reported on the Julia github? I was able to build from source a month or so ago without problem.

it might be that the corresponding `libunwind` library source cannot be retreived now. The community released `v0.6.1` yesterday, and they might have bumped up the version on the dependency with respect to that you used a month ago.

I do not know — maybe we should either report on GitHub, or wait until some person from `JuliaLang` sees here.
