Here are the commands I used:  mkdir julia ls cd julia  git clone git:  github.com JuliaLang julia.git git checkout release-0.3 make  This fails with the error:  cp: preserving permissions for `  julia julia usr lib libopenlibm.so.1.0': Operation not supported make 3 :      install  Error 1 make 2 :        julia julia usr lib libopenlibm.a  Error 2 make 1 :      julia-release  Error 2 make:      release  Error 2  where I have replaced my directory structure  that has username details, etc  with     in the above error message. Here is the file permissions of the libopenlibm.so.1.0:  -rwxr-xr-x+   It seems that the error is related to the ACL permissions  + sign at end of permissions . I tried various setfacl commands  using -b and -k flags  to see if I could remove these acl permissions, but it does not correct the problem. Also, if it is relevant, I do not have root permissions on this machine since it is a computing cluster.  Am I doing something wrong? Any thoughts on correcting this?  Thanks, Garrett  P.S. Here are my gcc specs  since I know you need the updated compiler, which I have :  gcc -v Using built-in specs.

You can try make -C deps distclean-openlibm && make cleanall && make, see if things work better a second time around  cleanall does not clear out the large dependencies like llvm and openblas, so this shouldn't take too long .      Garrett Jenkinson    6 29 15   Thanks for the suggestion. I tried your suggestion and got the same error message as before.   As a note, even though this is being done on a computing cluster, I logged into a single compute node and am not using the -j N flag to do parallel make. I am simply running the normal make command without any flags, and so I think everything should be acting serially as though I was just on a normal computer.      Tony Kelman    6 29 15   Hm, okay, I guess this isn't one I've seen before. Try editing the top-level Makefile, find the install: rule and see if you can add a - at the start of one of the lines to allow moving past the error. I suspect it's the loop over JL_PRIVATE_LIBS that's failing. You could also try modifying some of the cp flags in contrib install.sh.      Garrett Jenkinson    6 30 15   I got it working. Thanks so much for your help!  I tried your two suggestions, and it still gave me that error. So I grep'ed through the julia directory and found a bunch of 'Makefile' files inside the deps folder that were using the  cp  command with a  -a  flag set. I deleted any  -a  flag I could find and also put a  -  symbol in front of cp commands that had the  -p  flag set. After that the install worked  well the BLAS library failed but gave some pretty clear suggestions on re-running make with other flags set, which then worked .  So thanks again, I really appreciate it, Garrett
