openblas-julia build error on 10.7.5: "Undefined local symbol"

[jboynyc]

I'm trying to build julia using Homebrew. I ran brew update, downgraded LLVM to 3.2, ran brew upgrade on all outdated packages. Here's what happens:

$ brew install -v --HEAD julia

Error: openblas-julia did not build

I went through previous issues posted here and none of them seemed to match this one. I even tried building openblas-julia with the --use-clang flag with no success. Any ideas what the issue may be?

[staticfloat]

This is a new one! For the record, you shouldn't need to downgrade to LLVM 3.2, LLVM 3.3 should just work. If there's some documentation somewhere that says otherwise, I need to change it, so let me know.

From my google searching, this looks like a mystery bug in the compiler that pops up every now and then; I've updated OpenBLAS to 0.2.8, which might automagically fix things (brew update and try again to find out). If it doesn't, can you post the output of brew doctor?

[jboynyc]

Regarding LLVM 3.2: I got that from this issue.

Will try building now after running brew update and report back. Thanks for looking into this!

I also noticed that I had failed to install new XCode command-line tools, so that may have been part of the issue.

[jboynyc]

OK, I installed XCode command-line tools, ran brew update, fixed some warnings that brew doctor gave me (mostly about things I had installed using GNU stow), and now it built. Unfortunately that means I don't know what the root cause was. Probably the outdated XCode stuff.

Thanks again!

[staticfloat]

I concur. In general, anything that brew doctor complains about (that you didn't purposefully do) should be fixed before we expect everything to work. :)
