Hi,

I’ve installed and run JuliaPro 1.01.1 on several PCs running Windows 10 64-bit without a problem. However, this older machine seems to have crashed Julia.

Not sure if it’s related, but the machine’s CPU is a bit old: Intel Core i7 X 980. It used to have problem with C++ binary built in Visual C++ with “Enable Enhanced Instruction Set” turned on because the CPU lacks AVX support. That’s the only oddity I can remember with this machine.

JuliaPro was installed with Administrator privilege. The OS is Windows 10 Enterprise 64-bit version 10.0.15063. 8GB RAM.

Below’s the crash message. Can someone help or give me some direction to look? Thanks!

Update: Verified that only JuliaPro installation has this problem; Julia 1.01.1 can be started properly on the same machine.

Problem solved, though I still don’t know why.

Since JuliaPro 1.01.1 was crashing, I tried the standard Julia 1.01.1. I could run julia.exe without crashing, but when I tried to add any package, “ERROR: no active project” would show up and operation would fail.

I searched this error message online and found this post:

> [@0.7 doesn't let me add any packages](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/0-7-doesnt-let-me-add-any-packages/13053):

Thanks. ‘’’ pkg\> add PyPlot ERROR: no active project Stacktrace: [1] error(::String) at ./error.jl:33 [2] find\_project\_file(::Nothing) at /buildworker/worker/package\_linux64/build/usr/share/julia/stdlib/v0.7/Pkg/src/Types.jl:243 [3] Pkg.Types.EnvCache(::Nothing) at /buildworker/worker/packa…

Since JULIA\_LOAD\_PATH was mentioned in this post, and on this machine I had JULIA\_LOAD\_PATH pointing to 2 paths where I created my own modules, I tried removing the JULIA\_LOAD\_PATH environmental variable.

After that, magically the Julia package adding started working. I then tried re-installing JuliaPro 1.01.1, and it also worked!

I still don’t know why. On another Windows 10 64-bit machine I also had JULIA\_LOAD\_PATH pointing to similar paths, but that machine had no problem with JuliaPro.

Anyway, I’m happy it’s working now.

You’re probably right, except the cause being AVX. I doubt it’s used in crypto, but CPUs now also have some instructions for that, but not older, and I guess not that one.

It seems this line 61 is the problem:

```julia
function __init__ ()
__ctr_drbg__ init__()

```

or what it call here (possibly it’s inlined):

> <https://github.com/JuliaLang/MbedTLS.jl/blob/v0.6.4/src/ctr_drbg.jl#L50>

I would have expected " signal (4): Illegal instruction" like in (but possibly such appears only on Linux and not on Windows)?: [Error starting Julia: invalid instruction 0x62 · Issue #29652 · JuliaLang/julia · GitHub](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/29652)

Hi, I am also having the same MbedTLS initError but when trying to build CUDAdrv. This is on a i5-7600K CPU with Ubuntu. I tried Julia 1.0.1 and JuliaPro 1.0.1.1. Is my error related? I added a JULIA\_LOAD\_PATH and it still failed.

Same error message. 2 different computers. both Win10 64. CPUs are i7-5600U and i7-980x (as per original post). And I checked I don’t have JULIA\_LOAD\_PATH set at all (ENV[“JULIA\_LOAD\_PATH”] fails )

bunch of packages fail to build. here is the list so far  
SpecialFunctions  
LLVM  
CUDAnative  
Conda  
FFTW  
CuArrays  
WebIO  
GR  
CodecZlib  
Plots  
CUDAdrv

plain julia (1.0.1) works with no problems. download and build, test all ok.

I would try at least Julia 1.0.3 (or Julia 1.2/master or 1.1 as there’s now a release candidate) not just JuliaPro that’s based on older, but wasn’t the issue solved by this comment [JuliaPro 1.01.1 crashes on older PC running Windows 10 64-bit - #2 by Zhong\_Pan](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/juliapro-1-01-1-crashes-on-older-pc-running-windows-10-64-bit/16351/2) ?

The issue I posted previously has been closed and doesn’t seem relevant to this (MbedTLS) but for those having issues with AVX for OpenBLAS (see start of thread) there’s this open issue (linked from the closed one):
