Segmentation fault: 11 /usr/local/julia/usr/bin/julia-release-readline -bf sysimg.jl

Hi All,

today I did a git fetch and git merge orining, followed by make.  I got:

/bin/sh: line 1: 29933 Segmentation fault: 11  /usr/local/julia/usr/bin/julia-release-readline -bf sysimg.jl

*** This error is usually fixed by running 'make clean'. If the error persists, try 'make cleanall'. ***

that error was NOT sorted buy ither make clean or make cleanall... what gives?

Cheers

I believe this is now fixed.

Not really, I just reverted the change that exposed this problem on OS X. We're looking for it.

[Viral Shah]

Right - thanks for the more accurate description. I just meant to say that the build works now.

I am currently having this issue on funtoo (gentoo) linux when attempting to compile julia at revision ed68eb5892b38403cee97a7dba248b3ed88913a2. Can anyone lend a hand?

Thanks,

Eric

Can you create a debug build of Julia (via `make debug`) which will still fail when creating `sys.jl`, and then run the `sys.jl` creation process inside `gdb` by executing the following command inside of the base folder inside the julia git repository:

gdb --args ../usr/bin/julia-debug-readline -bf sysimg.jl

Once it segfaults, type `bt` to get a backtrace from gdb, and post that here.

Thanks for the response. Here's my backtrace:
