I am trying to profile a julia cuda application using Nsight compute, however I am running into an obscure error before julia even seems to be launched. This only occurs on versions 1.9 and 1.8, version <1.7 actually work as expected. I run
ncu -o report julia <path to benchmarking_script>
And the error is:
fatal: error thrown and no exception handler available.
InitError(mod=:Sys, error=ErrorException("could not load library "libpcre2-8"
libpcre2-8.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"))
