SIGILL: Illegal operation on update #257

Closed ilmanzo closed 2 years ago

ilmanzo commented 3 years ago

on one of my systems I got this strange issue with choosenim: each operation gives SIGILL.

$ choosenim --version
choosenim v0.7.5 (2021-01-02 22:19:38) [linux/amd64]

$ choosenim --debug update stable
      Info: No client ID found in '/home/andrea/.choosenim/analytics', not sending analytics.

SIGILL: Illegal operation.

same with a fresh download from the website : 

$ curl https://nim-lang.org/choosenim/init.sh -sSf | sh
choosenim-init: Downloading choosenim-0.7.4_linux_amd64
SIGILL: Illegal operation.

with advice from dom96 on Discord, I tried an older version and that works.

$ ./choosenim-0.5.0_linux_amd64 update stable

the problematic system is a standard Debian 10:

With the new 0.8.0 release this will hopefully no longer be a problem. Please have a test and let me know: https://github.com/dom96/choosenim/releases/tag/v0.8.0

confirmed, 0.8.0 works! Many thanks

$ ./choosenim-0.8.0_linux_amd64 update self

      Info: Already up to date at version 0.8.0

there's still a minor glitch, when a wrong command is specified, it displays some strange file path info 

$ choosenim asdasd

ahh yeah, that's because it's built in debug mode. Thanks for the callout though. I have to fix one more thing and will ensure I build it in release mode for the release :)
