Errors in suitesparse when compiling

[spott]

When I attempt to compile, I get the error shown here.

Any ideas?

[staticfloat]

Looks like SuiteSparse has been updated and Homebrew is lagging behind. I've modified the julia formula to use a custom SuiteSparse formula, and in the meantime submitted a pull request to Homebrew main to accept the new, updated SuiteSparse version.

Additionally, there's a small patch that I needed to get Julia to compile, so I've submitted a pull request to Julia as well, and I'm using my personal fork of Julia in the formula until it is accepted.

[spott]

Hey, thanks for updating so quickly, I'll try again.

[spott]

So, after trying again, I'm getting another error:

https://gist.github.com/3107461

It seems to be complaining about something to do with readline, but I don't know what...

[staticfloat]

There's a lot of confusion that arises from Julia's parallel building when
something doesn't go right. I've disabled the parallel build process so
that things are a little easier to read. Can you re-run it now? (I also
submitted a patch for a linker problem that doesn't seem to be your
problem)

Oh, and of course, you will need to brew update in order to make use of
any changes I make in the formula

Hopefully this helps:

Thanks for the help.

[staticfloat]

Interesting. This appears to be a segfault while Julia is bootstrapping
the sys0.ji file. This is a julia problem, not a compilation problem. I'd
go ask over at the Julia issues (https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues)
page instead, and see if they can help you.

@spott would you mind to try to brew https://github.com/samueljohn/homebrew-julia/blob/master/julia.rb? I had some issues like you (but cannot remember exactly if that one with the segfault was among them). My patch is an attempt (successful so far) to build julia on 10.7.4 with Xcode 4.3.3 (with_out_ the command line tools).

[spott]

@samueljohn I tried to do that... both by using the command you gave (with the install), and by untaping staticfloats homebrew-julia and retapping yours.

It is complaining about a lack of arpack-ng:

Error: No available formula for arpack-ng (dependency of julia)
Please tap it and then try again: brew tap staticfloat/julia

Thanks for the help.

[samueljohn]

oh I see the problem. You need arpack-ng and suite_sparse from staticfloat/julia first. The two dependencies are not automatically installed with the direct web link.

[samueljohn]

So don't untapped staticfloat/julia. Install these two deps and then my julia formula.

[spott]

Ok, I got it to attempt to install, but run into this error:

Well, probably something in Julia's Make.inc was changed upstream in
the meantime. Julia develops quite fast and I think patches are the
wrong way here. I should better try to use homebrew's inreplace
function.

[samueljohn]

Yep, the Make.inc in julia has changed. I adapted to that now.

@spott I updated my formula https://github.com/samueljohn/homebrew-julia/blob/master/julia.rb to use inreplace instead of patches to avoid future breakage.

If you like, please try again.

[spott]

Well, it attempted to compile, but I still get the segfault in the same place:

JULIA usr/lib/julia/sys0.ji

make[1]: *** [/private/tmp/homebrew-julia-HEAD-4Ebo/usr/lib/julia/sys0.ji] Error 139

[samueljohn]

Okay, was worth a try.

What does brew --config and brew doctor say? Can you gist that?
