Julia won't start

[MasonProtter]

Tried loading the Julia programming language from a compiled binary. Crashed from an illegal byte sequence(?). Steps to reproduce:

iPad:~# apk add curl 

iPad:~# curl https://julialang-s3.julialang.org/bin/linux/x64/1.0/julia-1.0.3-linux-x86_64.tar.gz --output julia-1.0.3-linux-x86_64.tar.gz

iPad:~# tar xvzf julia-1.0.3-linux-x86_64.tar.gz  

iPad:~# julia-1.0.3/bin/julia
julia-1.0.3/bin/julia: line 1: can't create @@@8: Illegal byte sequence                                                                                                                   
julia-1.0.3/bin/julia: line 1: �ELF: not found                                                                                                                                             
julia-1.0.3/bin/julia: line 1: syntax error: unterminated quoted string      

This shouldn't be particularly surprising, but it'd be really freaking cool if we got this working. I'd love to run Julia code directly on my ipad.

You're trying to run the 64-bit version and iSH is 32 bit only at the moment. It's supposed to give a nicer error message than that though.

[tbodt]

Even the 32-bit version probably won't work because it depends on glibc. This is similar to the issue with Rust (#67).

[MasonProtter]

Right you are! I'm a little embarrassed to admit that I didn't even check if ish was 32 or 64 bit. I tried again with the 32 bit version of julia and I'm getting an even stranger error:

iPad:~# apk add curl 

iPad:~# curl https://julialang-s3.julialang.org/bin/linux/x86/1.0/julia-1.0.3-linux-i686.tar.gz --output julia-1.0.3-linux-i686.tar.gz

iPad:~# tar xvzf julia-1.0.3-linux-i686.tar.gz

iPad:~# julia-1.0.3/bin/julia
-ash: julia-1.0.3/bin/julia: not found                             

even though julia-1.0.3/bin/julia definitely exists and is an executable.

I was mostly just doing this (like the Rust guy) so it could go on the compatibility list.

[tbodt]

That's the error you get when running a glibc-dependent executable on a system without glibc.

[tbodt]

Gonna close this for the same reason as the rust issue.

[MasonProtter]

I noticed this is in he Works category for Compatability. I just checked and it seems to not work still for the same reasons as before.

[tbodt]

I think it moved because I closed the project?

Happy to help test if you need.
