difficulty making julia

[atteson]

I get the following error when trying to build julia on an Amazon EC2 instance. I saw a thread on this but the solution seemed to be changing from VMWare to VirtualBox which I don't think will work for me. Does anyone have an idea of how to fix this:

LINK usr/bin/julia-release-readline
JULIA usr/lib/julia/sys.ji

int.jl
/bin/sh: line 1: 11579 Illegal instruction (core dumped) /home/ec2-user/julia/usr/bin/julia-release-readline -bf sysimg.jl

This seems to be a dup of #3263. I would suggest using the nightlies on a micro instance. I don't think the fix had to do with VMWare or Virtualbox, but to use instances from Virginia, which don't seem to crash.

Also you could use the AMIs from #3283

Thanks Viral. Using Virginia worked.
