I am trying to install JuliaPro 0.6.1.1 (MKL variant) on an Ubuntu 17.10 computer and the installer fails when it tries to build ZMQ. On the contrary, when I use the standard Julia 0.6.1 I can add and properly build ZMQ.

On Ubuntu 17.10 there is library libzmq.so.5 installed in /usr/lib/x86\_64\_linux-gnu/ and so when using the standard Julia 0.6.1 REPL the installation of ZMQ detects this library and does not download any source code from the web to compile and use. On the contrary, JuliaPro 0.6.1.1 does not detect this library and it always downloads and compiles source code from the web. The compilation generates no errors but then BinDeps cannot launch this library and therefore the installation is marked as not successful.

```julia

```

I think that somehow JuliaPro which uses custom folders to install packages is confusing BinDeps and/or ZMQ causing the installation to fail. How can this issue be resolved?

You can get some (possibly helpful) information about what’s going on by running:

```julia
using BinDeps
BinDeps.debug("ZMQ")

```

On JuliaPro the result of BinDeps.debug(“ZMQ”) is:

```julia
julia> BinDeps.debug("ZMQ")
INFO: Reading build script...
The package declares 1 dependencies.
WARNING: Compat.ASCIIString is deprecated, use String instead.

      - BinDeps.Yum package czmq (can't provide)
      - BinDeps.Pacman package zeromq (can't provide)

```

Note that on Ubuntu there is no libzmq3 but libzmq5 installed in the system.  
On the standard Julia version the result is different:

```julia
julia> BinDeps.debug("ZMQ")
INFO: Reading build script...
The package declares 1 dependencies.
WARNING: Compat.ASCIIString is deprecated, use String instead.
  likely near no file:0

      - BinDeps.Yum package czmq (can't provide)
      - BinDeps.Pacman package zeromq (can't provide)

```

Here it detects libzmq installed in the system and all goes well.  
I noticed that ZMQ on JuliaPro comes with file ZMQ/deps/deps.jl which is:

```julia
# This is an auto-generated file; do not edit

# Pre-hooks

# Macro to load a library
macro checked_lib(libname, path)
    ((VERSION >= v"0.4.0-dev+3844" ? Base.Libdl.dlopen_e : Base.dlopen_e)(path) == C_NULL) && error("Unable to load \n\n$libname ($path)\n\nPlease re-run Pkg.build(package), and restart Julia.")
    quote const $(esc(libname)) = $path end
end

# Load dependencies
@checked_lib zmq "/lib64/libzmq.so.5"

# Load-hooks

```

On Ubuntu there is no /lib64 directory for libraries (this perhaps a Red Hat directory structure) and libzmq is installed in /usr/lib/x86\_64-linux-gnu/. The same file in the standard Julia installation is different:

```julia
# This is an auto-generated file; do not edit

# Pre-hooks

# Macro to load a library
macro checked_lib(libname, path)
    ((VERSION >= v"0.4.0-dev+3844" ? Base.Libdl.dlopen_e : Base.dlopen_e)(path) == C_NULL) && error("Unable to load \n\n$libname ($path)\n\nPlease re-run Pkg.build(package), and restart Julia.")
    quote const $(esc(libname)) = $path end
end

# Load dependencies
@checked_lib zmq "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libzmq.so"

# Load-hooks

```

This one points to the right directory for libzmq.so. So, I replaced the file in JuliaPro with this one and repeated the debug command:

```julia
julia> BinDeps.debug("ZMQ")
INFO: Reading build script...
The package declares 1 dependencies.
WARNING: Compat.ASCIIString is deprecated, use String instead.
  likely near no file:0
 - Library "zmq"
    - Providers:

      - BinDeps.AptGet package libzmq3 (can't provide)
      - BinDeps.Yum package czmq (can't provide)
      - BinDeps.Pacman package zeromq (can't provide)

```

No progress. The next thing I did was to change file build.jl:

```julia
using BinDeps
using Compat

@BinDeps.setup

function validate(name, handle)
    try
        fhandle = Libdl.dlsym(handle, :zmq_version)
        major = Vector{Cint}(1)
        minor = Vector{Cint}(1)
        patch = Vector{Cint}(1)
        ccall(fhandle, Void, (Ptr{Cint}, Ptr{Cint}, Ptr{Cint}), major, minor, patch)
        return VersionNumber(major[1], minor[1], patch[1]) >= v"3"
    catch
        return false
    end
end

zmq = library_dependency("zmq", aliases = ["libzmq", "libzmq.so.3", "libzmq.so.4", "libzmq.so.5"], validate = validate)

provides(Sources, URI("https://github.com/zeromq/zeromq3-x/releases/download/v3.2.5/zeromq-3.2.5.tar.gz"), zmq)
provides(BuildProcess, Autotools(libtarget = "src/.libs/libzmq." * Libdl.dlext), zmq)

provides(AptGet, "libzmq3", zmq, os = :Linux)
provides(Yum, "czmq", zmq, os = :Linux)
provides(Pacman, "zeromq", zmq, os = :Linux)

if Compat.Sys.iswindows()
    using WinRPM
    provides(WinRPM.RPM, "zeromq", [zmq], os = :Windows)
elseif Compat.Sys.isapple()
    using Homebrew
    provides(Homebrew.HB, "zeromq@3.2", zmq, os = :Darwin)
end

@BinDeps.install Dict(:zmq => :zmq)

```

by replacting

`provides(AptGet, "libzmq3", zmq, os = :Linux)`

with

`provides(AptGet, "libzmq5", zmq, os = :Linux)`

Then I get the following:

```julia
julia> BinDeps.debug("ZMQ")
INFO: Reading build script...
The package declares 1 dependencies.
 - Library "zmq"
    - Providers:
      - Autotools Build
      - BinDeps.AptGet package libzmq5
      - BinDeps.Yum package czmq (can't provide)
      - BinDeps.Pacman package zeromq (can't provide)

```

So I start a Pkg.build(“ZMQ”) and I get:

```julia
julia> Pkg.build("ZMQ")
INFO: Building ZMQ

  likely near /home/panos/Applications/JuliaPro-0.6.1.1/JuliaPro/pkgs-0.6.1.1/v0.6/ZMQ/deps/build.jl:36

 - build a single package by running its `deps/build.jl` script

===============================================================================================================

```

So, it tries to install libzmq5 using apt-get (already installed) and then it fails to load the library.  
It looks like BinDeps cannot detect the library in folder /usr/lib/x86\_64-linux-gnu when using JuliaPro.

I agree with your assessment. I wish I could help more, but I’ve never used Julia Pro and I’m not familiar with the way it searches for libraries.

That is not a good idea. If you need this then your `~/.julia` has the wrong permissions and that should be fixed instead.

Issue in found only in MKL variant of JuliaPro. I was able to reproduce it and working on the fix
