Julia segmentation core dump error

General Usage
,
1

I have tried multiple re-installs for julia. But found no luck. The julia exits with a warning “core dumped” after I try to install packages. Same results occurred with installed julia using curl and while using the tar ball version downloaded from the website.

Someone please help rectify this issue.

OS: linux mint 22 Julia version: 1.11.3

tried installing packages using “]” or “Pkg”. The julia showed warning about being unable to access or remove some file from registry folder of previous installation. I removed the folder manually. No luck so far. same results of exiting julia immediately after entering the “]”.

What’s the output of

ENV["LD_LIBRARY_PATH"]
ENV["LD_PRELOAD"]

inside Julia?

You’re breaking Julia by setting these environment variables. Try running Julia like this:

unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH
unset LD_PRELOAD
julia

Or just stop setting these environment variables globally, Julia isn’t the only software that will break.

That worked. Thanks for the resolution.

But that needs to be followed every time I need to use julia.

Edit your .bashrc file to make sure both variables are not set.

Tried with removed variables. Precompile errors appeared while installing “IJulia” package and its dependencies.

11

Clearly you still have these environment variables defined before starting Julia. That’s certainly a bad practice independently of the fact that it crashes Julia, which is why I suggested you stop defining them globally.

12

I have shared my .bashrc file contents. Please highlight the variables. I will fix them. or share if there is any another way to remove these globally assigned env variables.

13

This line seems like the culprit.

BTW, if you want to know about what these environment variables do, see the ld.so manual page: ld.so(8) — Arch manual pages

Basically, they change code that’s being run, which will obviously result in breakage in general. That’s why they should almost never be set globally, instead you should set them only when it’s known they’re needed (which should be rare).

14

Removed the line from bashrc file. no changes in output of julia. same errors appeared.chin@sachin-Lenovo-IdeaPad-S340-14IIL:~$ source .bashrc sachin@sachin-Lenovo-IdeaPad-S340-14IIL:~$ cd .julia sachin@sachin-Lenovo-IdeaPad-S340-14IIL:~/.julia$ cd juliaup/ sachin@sachin-Lenovo-IdeaPad-S340-14IIL:~/.julia/juliaup$ ls julia-1.10.8+0.x64.linux.gnu julia-1.11.3+0.x64.linux.gnu juliaup.json sachin@sachin-Lenovo-IdeaPad-S340-14IIL:~/.julia/juliaup$ cd julia-1.11.3+0.x64.linux.gnu/ sachin@sachin-Lenovo-IdeaPad-S340-14IIL:~/.julia/juliaup/julia-1.11.3+0.x64.linux.gnu$ ls bin etc include lib libexec LICENSE.md share sachin@sachin-Lenovo-IdeaPad-S340-14IIL:~/.julia/juliaup/julia-1.11.3+0.x64.linux.gnu$ cd bin/ sachin@sachin-Lenovo-IdeaPad-S340-14IIL:~/.julia/juliaup/julia-1.11.3+0.x64.linux.gnu/bin$ ls julia sachin@sachin-Lenovo-IdeaPad-S340-14IIL:~/.julia/juliaup/julia-1.11.3+0.x64.linux.gnu/bin$ ./julia _ _ _ _(_)_ | Documentation: https://docs.julialang.org (_) | (_) (_) | _ _ _| |_ __ _ | Type "?" for help, "]?" for Pkg help. | | | | | | |/ _ | |

The environment variables were set from your .bashrc, so they’re still around until you reboot or log out and log in.

BTW, while asking here is OK, in my opinion it’s better to ask such system administration questions which are not Julia-specific on a forum specific to your operating system/distro.

No luck with reboot either.

Some places where the environment variables could be set:

  • $HOME/.bashrc
  • $HOME/.bash_profile
  • $HOME/.profile
  • /etc/profile.d
  • /etc/environment

Check all of them, I guess.

You can also unset them at the end of .bashrc:

unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH
unset LD_PRELOAD

Or you create an alias:

alias jl='unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH; unset LD_PRELOAD; julia'

again at the end of .bashrc and then type jl to start Julia.

And you should NOT delete:

# >>> juliaup initialize >>>

# !! Contents within this block are managed by juliaup !!

case ":$PATH:" in
    *:/home/USERNAME/.juliaup/bin:*)
        ;;

    *)
        export PATH=/home/USERNAME/.juliaup/bin${PATH:+:${PATH}}
        ;;
esac

# <<< juliaup initialize <<<

where USERNAME is your user name.

Checked. no variables defined except the openfoam bin path from .bashrc, which has been removed now.

What is the output of which julia typed at the Bash prompt?
