Julia `make` Problem

General Usage
1

I compiled Julia many times without difficulties, but my latest attempt on a new HPC node failed: I believe this happens at the very end of the make process:

    LINK usr/lib/libjulia.so.0.6.4
    CC ui/repl.o
    LINK usr/bin/julia
    JULIA usr/lib/julia/inference.ji

I’m afraid I have no clue to even start fixing this and would appreciate any help!

A few more comments:

  • this is Julia v0.6.4 (I haven’t yet had time to update a fairly large code base)
  • The Linux version is (note this is not the GCC I’m using for compiling Julia)
Linux version 3.10.0-957.5.1.el7.x86_64 (mockbuild@kbuilder.bsys.centos.org) (gcc version 4.8.\
5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-36) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Fri Feb 1 14:54:57 UTC 2019
  • GCC version:
bash-4.2$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 7.3.0

  • The make process was simply started with
git clone git@github.com:JuliaLang/julia.git
cd Julia
git checkout v0.6.4
make

I’m not sure if the solution reported here Source build Julia 0.6.0-pre-alpha branch fails with error in inference.ji will work for you.
