"invalid version string: RPMmd" - "Kernel trap" - "lazy symbol binding failed"

[delafont]

Hello,
Here is what I get when I try to add a package. Mac OSX 10.6.8, Julia binary release 0.1.2 (the 0.2 just does not start).

julia> Pkg.add("DataFrames")
ERROR: invalid version string: RPMmd
in convert at version.jl:79
in parse_requires at pkg/metadata.jl:135
in open at io.jl:303
in dependencies at pkg/metadata.jl:153

in anonymous at no file:155
in cd at file.jl:26
in cd_pkgdir at pkg.jl:34
in add at pkg.jl:135
in add at pkg.jl:167

No idea what to do with it. Similar error on my other comp with Lion, just replace "RPMmd" by some other random set of letters.

I also got a
"""
panic(cpu0 caller): Kernel trap
[...]
Debugger called:
[...]
BSD process name corresponding tu corrent kernel: julia-release-re
"""
Just after installation, the first time I tried to run the same command.
Not reproducible, but still I never saw it before.

And the 0.2 version traceback at start:

sv3-127:~ delafont$ exec '/Applications/Julia-0.2.0-pre-808f3ad8e3.app/Contents/Resources/julia/bin/julia'

At this point we probably just need to ignore the 0.1 error... As for the issue with 0.2, it was supposed to have been fixed. @staticfloat any ideas?

[staticfloat]

Apparently that fix was to create an SL-specific binary. I'm not creating those right now, although I guess I will have to. It would be so nice to determine what libunwind to use at runtime, but I don't think that's very easy right now. :P

@delafont I will try to compile and upload a 10.6-compatible binary soon. I'll ping this thread when it's ready for testing.

[delafont]

Right, I should have read more closely the Instructions paragraph, sorry...
Looking forward to see a 10.6 compatible binary! I am about to give a presentation of Julia at the Polytechnical, but the standard here is (old) Macs.

@delafont can you try out this download: https://s3.amazonaws.com/julialang/bin/osx/x64/0.2/julia-0.2pre-10.6.dmg

[delafont]

Works! Super fast answer, thank you.

[staticfloat]

Great! Thank you! We're just about to release the first 0.2.0-rc1 candidate, I will update the download page once those binaries are ready for release with an official 10.6 binary release, so just go to the downloads page for updates in the future.
