Version:

      Status `~/.julia/environments/v1.6/Project.toml`
  [7a1cc6ca] FFTW v1.4.1

[bgroenks96]

The problem is resolved by downgrading to version 1.3.1:

   Resolving package versions...
    Updating `~/.julia/environments/v1.6/Project.toml`
  [7a1cc6ca] ↓ FFTW v1.4.1 ⇒ v1.3.1
    Updating `~/.julia/environments/v1.6/Manifest.toml`
  [d360d2e6] ↑ ChainRulesCore v0.9.45 ⇒ v0.10.2
  [31c24e10] ↑ Distributions v0.24.18 ⇒ v0.25.2
  [7a1cc6ca] ↓ FFTW v1.4.1 ⇒ v1.3.1
  [856f044c] ↓ MKL_jll v2021.1.1+1 ⇒ v2020.2.254+0

It works for me with FFTW 1.4.1 on Julia 1.6.1 (macOS).

@timholy and @ararslan, these precompile statements were added in #181 (for FFTW v1.3.2), any idea what's going on?

[stevengj]

@bgroenks96, what is your versioninfo() output?

[ararslan]

No idea on my end why those assertions would be hit. Works fine for me with FFTW v1.4.1 on Linux with Julia v1.6.1.

The current version of FFTW works on my laptop, this problem seems to only occur on my institute's server. Perhaps they broke something...? If we could narrow down what possible system libraries could cause this, I can just yell at them to fix it :)

[giordano]

@bgroenks96 can you please try to start julia with

JULIA_PKG_SERVER="pkg.julialang.org" JULIA_DEPOT_PATH=$(mktemp -d) julia

and see if you still have the same problem precompiling FFTW.jl there?

[bgroenks96]

@giordano Yes, that worked! Could you explain what that changed? I had already tried deleting the entire .julia directory and that didn't fix the issue.

[giordano]

Well, that's equivalent to deleting the .julia directory: JULIA_DEPOT_PATH selects a different depot, without wiping out your .julia, which is something I do not recommend in general.

[bgroenks96]

That's weird. There must be something else I installed in my environment that broke the FFTW compilation.

Ref #214

Should be fixed via #214
