I installed Julia in /usr/local, so the following fails.

PackageCompiler.compile_package("TrivialPackage", force = false, reuse = true)

Julia Version 0.6.2 Linux (x86_64-linux-gnu)

[SimonDanisch]

I think this should be resolved! Please reopen if not!

[x-ji]

Still happens in my case if I pass in force = true. Guess users are not supposed to try to replace the system image? What if I want to compile a package used system-wide such as LanguageServer. Should I just compile the package as the root user (not sure if that works though).

I'm experiencing the same issue with Julia 1.3.0 when running this example in the repo docs - any advice?

Investigating a bit more, it seems that [2] in the stack trace is at /home/oliver/local/src/PackageCompiler.jl/src/PackageCompiler.jl:678 is cp(julia_libdir(), app_libdir; force=true).

Putting a @show just before that, I get julia_libdir() = "/usr/lib". Is the desired behavior really to copy my entire /usr/lib into this app in order to compile it? Seems a bit overkill ;)

[OliverEvans96]

(@SimonDanisch - I hope you don't mind reopening the issue)

[OliverEvans96]

I now see this big warning in the docs that you should use binaries downloaded from the julia website. Presumably, it was previously trying to copy my whole /usr/lib because that's where libjulia was installed by my package manager (Arch linux/pacman).

It succeeded without any errors after removing my system-install and downloading a fresh v1.4.0 from the julia website. Not sure if there's something actionable here, or if this issue should just remain closed.

Thanks, Oliver

[feanor12]

Even the official binaries do not help if they are placed in /usr/lib. This happens when julia-bin is used on Arch. I think juliaup should resolve this.

[simonbyrne]

The offending line is the cp in: https://github.com/JuliaLang/PackageCompiler.jl/blob/c0e68553c7a74bd580ba7238816ab7c4b7ce4b9c/src/PackageCompiler.jl#L1021-L1027 when julia_libdir() == "/usr/lib".

Can we just copy libjulia.* and the contents of the julia subdirectory?

[simonbyrne]

@feanor12 do you have a /usr/lib/julia directory? If so, what is in it?

[feanor12]

If I install julia-bin I have a /usr/lib/julia directory.

I get similar problems under Manjaro Linux 22, Julia 1.8.2 installed via the integrated package manager.

IOError: open("/usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-brf", 0, 0): permission denied (EACCES)

The julia_libdir() function returns /usr/lib on my system, and then the script tries to copy all files from there - and (fortunately) fails due to some read access problems for certain files.

julia> PackageCompiler.julia_libdir()
"/usr/lib"

julia> Libdl.dlpath("libjulia")
"/usr/bin/../lib/libjulia.so.1"

julia> dirname(abspath(Libdl.dlpath("libjulia")))
