juliaup installs gnu builds of julia on musl systems

[ii8]

It looks like https://github.com/JuliaLang/juliaup/blob/main/versiondb/versiondb-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.json contains links to the gnu julia tarballs, instead of links to the musl ones, even though it says musl in the filename. Is that the issue?

Here's the output:

$ julia

I have the same issue on Chimera Linux when installed with the installer script.

As it stands, that is by design. We always ship a version of Juliaup that statically links musl on Linux even on GNU systems. The main reason is that we then don't have to deal with different libc versions at all.

We essentially don't have a Juliaup version at the moment that serves musl versions of Julia...
