Julia: Bug report: `make install` does not copy `libLLVM-8jl.so` on Linux Environment (Julia-1.5 Dev)

[terasakisatoshi]

• Since make install does not copy libLLVM-8jl.so (which wll be generated by running make command) on linux environment, I can't run Julia that will be installed by make install .
• If I copy libLLVM-8jl.so manually to directory path/to/prefix/lib/julia/ it will be alright on Linux environment.

How to Reproduce

FROM ubuntu:18.04

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
    build-essential \
    libatomic1 \
    python \
    gfortran \
    perl \
    wget \
    m4 \
    cmake \
    pkg-config \
    git

ARG JL_VERSION="master"
ARG WDIR="/root"
ARG JL_BUILD_DIR=$WDIR/build
WORKDIR $JL_BUILD_DIR

RUN echo "\
CXXFLAGS=-D_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=0\n\
prefix=/usr/local/julia-$JL_VERSION\n\
USE_BINARYBUILDER = 0\n\
" > Make.user \
    && cat Make.user \
    && git clone --depth=1 -b $JL_VERSION https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia.git julia-$JL_VERSION\
    && cp Make.user $JL_BUILD_DIR/julia-$JL_VERSION \
    && cd julia-$JL_VERSION \
    && make -j $(nproc) \
    && make install

RUN rm -r $JL_BUILD_DIR && \
    apt-get clean && rm -rf /var/cache/apt/archives/* /var/lib/apt/lists/*
ENV PATH=/usr/local/julia-$JL_VERSION/bin:$PATH
# runtime test
RUN julia -e "using InteractiveUtils; versioninfo()" # it will fail

CMD ["julia"]

• Run the following command will occur an error.

$ docker build -t buildmaster .
...
julia: error while loading shared libraries: libLLVM-8jl.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[terasakisatoshi]

• I think JL_PRIVATE_LIBS-? does not contain libLLVM-8jl.so

Still same error happens

The command '/bin/sh -c julia -e "using InteractiveUtils; versioninfo()"' returned a non-zero code: 127

[terasakisatoshi]

Ah ... I've found this issue occurs when we set USE_BINARYBUILDER = 0.
that's why everyone other than me succeed to build julia without tear.

Apparently, today's julia Commit a66db76 solves our problem

This is also an issue on the v1.4.0 release.

[terasakisatoshi]

I think Julia 1.5(in the future) will solve this problem.

This has been fixed on master by https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/commit/5e0cab69966eb989f380492dda7590bca3a3ba8d AFAICT. I've filed https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/35273 to backport it (hopefully it's correct).

[sanderjson]

I am on Fdora 32 and just updated Julia and now I get the error:

julia: error while loading shared libraries: libLLVM-8jl.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[nalimilan]

@sanderjson How did you install Julia?

[sanderjson]

I have it installed with dnf
I tried various remove and/installs
I also tried renaming the libllvm file in the installation

What worked in the end:
Dnf remove Julia
Reboot
Just typed Julia in the terminal
Hit yes when prompted to install the command

Edit: I do have the nalimilan/julia copr enabled

[nalimilan]

What exact version of the package do you have?

[sanderjson]

@nalimilan now I have julia-1.4.0-2.fc32.x86_64 - had the same issues this morning.

dnf remove julia
reboot
dnf install julia

dnf remove julia
reboot
julia

[nalimilan]

Ah, there was a bad interaction between the fix I had applied in 1.4.0 and the fix that was backported in 1.4.1. Should be fixed in the new version I just built.

This error occurs build source from scratch.

Below is my prescription to solve the issue:

Here is my https://github.com/Julia-Embedded/jlcross/blob/master/rpi3/Dockerfile-v1.4.0#L34

[vchuravy]

It is fixed on Julia 1.4.1 and 1.5.0-dev, we didn't cache it early enough for 1.4.0 so yes either you have to manually copy or use USE_BINARYBUILDER_LLVM=1.

[sanderjson]

working as intended

[Klorophane]

It seems like this problem is back? julia-1.4.2-1.fc32.x86_64 gives the same error (Fedora 32). I installed through dnf install julia.
