Base.InitError(mod=:LibGit2, error=ErrorException("error initializing LibGit2 module"))

[mauro3]

I get this error running "hello":

fatal: error thrown and no exception handler available.

Compilation completes without any problem. Julia 0.6, Linux

[tjol]

I have this problem as well - but only on Scientific Linux (7.4), not on Ubuntu 17.04. Both are using the exact same Julia build (the official 0.6.0 amd64 binaries), and the latest version of this repository. How odd.

[blegat]

I have the same issue on Arch Linux using Julia v0.6.0.

[ViralBShah]

Can you post the Julia version, which commit of static-julia and the command used to generate the executable?

The exact same procedure, with the exact same commit and julia version worked just fine for me on Ubuntu 17.04.

@tjol @jpsamaroo Are you using the generic Julia binaries from julialang.org?

[tjol]

Yes.

[tjol]

I'm able to easily reproduce this in a clean virtual machine:

• Install CentOS 7 from http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/7/isos/x86_64/CentOS-7-x86_64-Minimal-1708.iso in (e.g.) VirtualBox.
• Install gcc & friends: sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
• Download and extract https://julialang-s3.julialang.org/bin/linux/x64/0.6/julia-0.6.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz – sudo yum install lynx may be helpful.
• Start julia to install dependencies: for pkg in ["Distributions", "ArgParse", "UnicodePlots"] Pkg.add(pkg) end
• git clone https://github.com/JuliaComputing/static-julia.git
• continue as in the previous comments.

[jpsamaroo]

I'm not using pre-packaged binaries, I'm building everything from source. Currently, all of my 0.6 Gentoo systems are having this same issue with static-julia master.

[joaquimg]

I solved it on linux
By copying:
joinpath(ROOT,"deps","julia","julia-0.6.0-linux-x86_64","share","julia","cert.pem")
and setting:
export SSL_CERT_FILE=$some_path/cert.pem

[jpsamaroo]

To add to @joaquimg 's reply, when using julia compiled from source, do the following (this command is assuming the julia directory is /opt/julia): SSL_CERT_FILE=/opt/julia/usr/share/julia/cert.pem ./hello. This worked well for me. Thanks @joaquimg !

(Of course, this obviously should be fixed in a cleaner way 😄)
