I’m trying to install julia from source on a power9 architecture.  
The compilation looks like it succeeds, but I can’t add any packages:

```julia
(v1.0) pkg> add Flux
   Cloning default registries into /ccs/home/jstrube/.julia/registries
   Cloning registry General from "https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General.git"

If anybody succeeded building julia-1.0 on powerpc, please let me know your trick!

He is trolling, just ignore.

Seems like something goes wrong with LibGit2 on that system.There is a similar issue at [LibGit2.set\_ssl\_cert\_locations segfaults on a cluster · Issue #17789 · JuliaLang/julia · GitHub](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/17789).
