Cannot compile on Mageia (shell script permission denied?)

[eldiegoefe]

First time reporting an issue on github, not sure if it's the right place. It might be that the problem is my beginner condition in Linux. When trying to install Julia in Mageia 4 i get this errors:

➜ julia git:(release-0.3) make

I also tried with "sudo make" but obtained the same message.

What version of git do you have? git --version
Also are you using a non-standard shell by any chance? echo $SHELL

I would think git should give scripts proper executable privileges, but maybe not always? What do
ls -l /home/eldiegoefe/programas/julia/contrib/relative_path.sh and
ls -l /home/eldiegoefe/programas/julia/deps/jldownload say?
If they're missing executable privileges, you may need to do
chmod +x /home/eldiegoefe/programas/julia/contrib/relative_path.sh and similarly on any other script files that need to run during the build process.

@eldiegoefe Can you answer the questions?

[eldiegoefe]

I reinstalled the system, since it all started to work strangely. Now I'm on Manjaro with Julia and IJulia running (and I could install them also on my laptop with Mint). While still on Mageia:

• git was version 1.8
• shell was zsh (with oh my zsh)
• relative_path.sh and jldownload were property of eldiegoefe (the user executing the installation), and were executables without the need to chmod +x them.

My mageia installation was buggy, I couldn't make rpmdrake (the gui to install packages) work, I could only use the console and urpmi to update and install things. I might try Mageia again on a virtual machine, but right now I uninstalled it.

Since the system that this occurred on no longer exists to further test on, we should probably just close this since there's not really any actions we can take. If you go back to that system and have problems again, post here and we can reopen.

I'm trying to install Julia on Mageia 5; the problem is a bootstrap problem. I run make clean, make cleanall, then make:

I'd be grateful for any help with this.

@evanmason seems like some of the system information we include when we generate base/build_h.jl on your system breaks Julia syntax. Can you post the content of the generated file so we can see what is wrong.

[evanmason]

@ivarne here is base/build_h.jl

That looks really strange. Can you try to delete base/build_h.j and rebuild. (If that doesn't work, you should just delete the garage line(s) to see if that works.)

[evanmason]

I deleted base/build_h.jl then ran make, but the result is the same, i.e., it created a new build_h.jl with a corrupted line 2.

Then I deleted just the bad line 2 and ran make clean, make cleanall and make:

Given that this is a very different series of events than the original issue reported here, I'd suggest opening a new issue.
