Could not tap staticfloat/julia/suite-sparse

[cbare]

Hi SF,

I got the following error. I hope it's helpful to report it here.

Has the julia/suite-sparse repo moved?

Hey cbare, when was the last time you did a brew update?

[linse]

I have the same error, and did not update brew for about a month. Updating it just now now caused the error.
Failed to update tap: staticfloat/julia
So I untapped brew untap staticfloat/julia which gave me Untapped 3 formula and tapped again:

brew tap staticfloat/julia

Interesting, no idea what that Failed to update tap error is about. Am I correct in assuming that in the end, everything worked out correctly when you ran brew untap staticfloat/julia; brew tap staticfloat/julia?

[linse]

The repo seems to work after untap and tap, installing julia does not. Also, I just remembered: when I tried to install Julia the first time (2.5 months ago), I was instructed to try some special magic because I am on a Mac. I think I installed openblas separately. Maybe the above poster did this, too?
And this is exactly where my install fails now:

brew install --HEAD julia

Please tap it and then try again: brew tap homebrew/dupes

This formula is keg-only: so it was not symlinked into /usr/local.

Mac OS X already provides this software and installing another version in
parallel can cause all kinds of trouble.

Generally there are no consequences of this for you. If you build your
own software and it requires this formula, you'll need to add to your
build variables:

    LDFLAGS:  -L/usr/local/opt/zlib/lib
    CPPFLAGS: -I/usr/local/opt/zlib/include

First off, thank you for the very detailed error report. Secondly, my guess is that this is an issue with the age of your Xcode install. I'm using Xcode 4.5, and while I know that it's quite a large download to upgrade, I'm pretty sure this will fix your problem.

One thing you could try first is installing openblas manually, and specifying --use-clang:

$ brew install staticfloat/julia/openblas --use-clang

If that works, you can then continue building Julia, but no guarantees that the rest of the build process will work, unfortunately. Alternatively, you could download an upgraded Command Line Tools (You'll have to enter your Apple ID to get to that page) and see if that helps out.

The compiler this is most tested on is clang v3.1, I see that you have clang 2.1 installed, but it's not being used, llvm-gcc is.

[linse]

Thanks for your reply. Now this is interesting. Openblas manual install with --use-clang failed. Then I upgraded my Xcode to 4.5.1 and also the Command Line Tools.
The install still fails. Do you have other ideas?

If Julia is installing, that means that the OpenBLAS install worked! So that's one hurdle down. I guess it really did just need a newer compiler.

I think this is a mismatch between my formula and the Julia build process, I've committed a newer version, can you see if that compiles for you? Also, note that until this pull request goes through, you won't get the documentation or examples in the $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/share/julia folder like you should. Once that pull request is merged however, a brew rm julia; brew install --HEAD julia should fix things right up.

[staticfloat]

To try out the newer version, just run brew update and then brew rm julia; brew install -v --HEAD julia. The brew rm julia isn't strictly necessary, it's just in case brew thinks julia's installed and has a half-baked installation around.

[linse]

That works! Thanks for the fix. I did brew test -v julia just for fun, and SUCCESS. :-)

[staticfloat]

Awesome, enjoy Julia! I'm going to close this issue since it worked for you and @cbare hasn't shown up for a while. If the problem occurs again for either of you, comment here and I'll re-open.
