3. used archlinuxarm virtual machine on macbook air m1 to build with ~~~march=armv8-a or MCPU=cortex-a57~~~ , build and run ok on the VM , copy the build to Annapurna Labs AL324, now julia success started , but when use versioninfo() ,it crashed again.

I get the same "SYSTEM: caught exception of type" (and then stall) on an aarch64 Chromebook with the official v1.7.3 and v1.8.0-rc1 build.

The aarch64 nightly build (1.9.0-DEV.834) starts, but crashes on versioninfo().

Julia v1.7.2 ran fine on the same device, even complex applications involving large packages.

What's the 1.7.3 error message?

The 1.8 message means that libjulia-compiler.so couldn't be loaded at startup.

[vchuravy]

If anyone could try running the LLVM self-tests on the platform (v14 and v15) that would be helpful.

We might need #45859

[inkydragon]

What's the 1.7.3 error message?

Oh, that's my fault. 1.7.3 has NO problem. (I even used the output of 1.7.3 as version information).
I've updated the list.

[oschulz]

If anyone could try running the LLVM self-tests on the platform (v14 and v15) that would be helpful

Can I do this with the Julia-included LLVM somehow?

On Chromebook-Linux (aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu, standard Crostini Debian Bullseye) I currently get (official Julia binaries, tested only REPL-start and ran rand(100)):

• Julia v1.6.0: works
• Julia v1.6.1: works
• Julia v1.6.2: works
• Julia v1.6.3: works
• Julia v1.6.4: works
• Julia v1.6.5: works
• Julia v1.6.6: stalls at startup, no error message, no REPL prompt
• Julia v1.6.7: stalls at startup, no error message, no REPL prompt
• Julia v1.7.0: works
• Julia v1.7.1: works
• Julia v1.7.2: works
• Julia v1.7.3: SYSTEM: caught exception of type (that's all of it, doesn't say what type) at startup, then stalls, no REPL-prompt
• Julia v1.8.0: SYSTEM: caught exception of type (that's all of it, doesn't say what type) at startup, then stalls, no REPL-prompt
• Julia v1.8.0: SYSTEM: caught exception of type (that's all of it, doesn't say what type) at startup, then stalls, no REPL-prompt
• Julia v1.8.2: SYSTEM: caught exception of type (that's all of it, doesn't say what type) at startup, then stalls, no REPL-prompt
• Julia v1.9.0-DEV.1696: REPL starts and one can do 1+1, but Julia freezes without output or error on simple things like rand(100) and versioninfo()

The same happens on NVIDIA Jetson Linux (Ubuntu binonic), at least on Julia v1.8.2 and v1.9.0-DEV.1696

I had used Julia v1.6 (early versions) on Chromebook-Linux and NVIDIA Jetson without issues in the past, for some demos that included large packages, complex code and plots.

For what is worth, build of the v1.8.0 tag is successful for me on a MacBook M1:

~/repo/julia$ ./julia -q    
julia> versioninfo()
Julia Version 1.8.0
Commit 5544a0fab7 (2022-08-17 13:38 UTC)
Platform Info:
  OS: Linux (aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu)
  CPU: 8 × unknown
  WORD_SIZE: 64
  LIBM: libopenlibm
  LLVM: libLLVM-13.0.1 (ORCJIT, apple-m1)
  Threads: 1 on 8 virtual cores

The 1.8 message means that libjulia-compiler.so couldn't be loaded at startup.

That sounds related to #46409, and #46464 should help with that if LD_LIBRARY_PATH is the issue also here

We have been building on aarch64 recently and successfully. Please reopen if still an issue.
