Libopenblas error for sysimage with Makie.jl

New to Julia
1

Hi,

I’ve tried to create a sysimage for both GLMakie and CairoMakie with:

pkg> activate .
  Activating project at `~/test/julia`
julia> using PackageCompiler
julia> create_sysimage(["GLMakie", "CairoMakie"]; sysimage_path="MakieSysImage.so")
✔ [07m:38s] PackageCompiler: compiling incremental system image

Trying to use it fails with

 julia -q -J MakieSysImage.so
fatal: error thrown and no exception handler available.
InitError(mod=:OpenBLAS_jll, error=ErrorException("could not load library "libopenblas.so"

Using Julia 1.8.3 on Gentoo.

Is this a bug that should be reported ? If that’s the case, which github account would be more suitable ?

Thanks !

How did you install Julia there?

Thanks for answering so quickly.
I used dev-lang/julia, i.e by compiling it (instead of using a binary). The package is marked as “testing” in Gentoo at the moment.

Then I guess the package in Gentoo is kinda broken and not using an ILP64 build of OpenBLAS and/or not named libopenblas64_.so

I forgot to add that you should instead the official binaries from Download Julia, or maybe use GitHub - JuliaLang/juliaup: Julia installer and version multiplexer, which allows you to manage multiple version and upgrade to new ones when they come out.

Yes, I figured as much :slight_smile:
Using the latest official binary does not have this issue. Thanks for the tip !
