Crash on windows xp sp3 32 bit

[Staross]

Trying to start Julia on my windows xp computer:

>julia0.1.2-WINNT-i686+Git\julia-c4b3649af6>julia.bat

I finally found a (legal) Windows XP license key -- they had seemed to disappear for a bit when when microsoft ended long term support -- and will report my findings shortly.

[vtjnash]

I cannot reproduce this issue on a clean VirtualBox installation of Windows XP SP3 32-bit.

[Staross]

I guess it's something specific to my computer. Anything I can do to help pin down the problem?

[vtjnash]

what does your PATH variable contain? you can try running the debug binaries by editing julia.bat and replacing release with debug, although I don't expect it to make a difference. you could also try deleting lib/julia/sys.ji and seeing how far julia gets before choking

[Staross]

Changing to debug didn't changed much. Here is my path:

C:\Julia\julia-c4b3649af6>PATH
PATH=C:\Julia\julia-c4b3649af6\bin\;C:\Julia\julia-c4b3649af6\bin\..\lib\julia;C:\Julia\julia-c4b3649af6\bin\..\lib;.;C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\PhysX\
Common;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live;C:\Program Files\ActiveState Komodo Edit 6\;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System3
2\Wbem;C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\;C:\MATLAB701\bin\win32;C:\Program Files\Lua\5.1;C:\Program Files\Lua\5.1\clibs;C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\D
DS Utilities;C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2011a\runtime\win32;C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2011a\bin;C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0;C:\Program Files\doxygen
\bin;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live;C:\Julia\julia-c4b3649af6\\Git\bin;C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin;C:\MinGW\bin;C:\Program Files\Git\bin;
C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin;C:\Python27;C:\Python26;C:\Python25

And what I get without sys.ji :

C:\Julia\julia-c4b3649af6>julia.bat

[vectorxue]

I have the same problem as yours,does anyone has a solution?

[Staross]

I got a new error message with the 0.2 version:

OpenBLAS : Your OS does not support AVX instructions. OpenBLAS is using Nehalem kernels as a fallback, which may give poorer performance.
Please submit a bug report with steps to reproduce this fault, and any error messages that follow (in their entirety). Thanks.

[pao]

Not really an error message, just a warning. If you don't have a Sandy Bridge processor or later, or are running in VirtualBox, you can't use AVX instructions.

[Staross]

True, julia doesn't start though, it just goes back to dos.

[Keno]

Is this still happening with the latest binaries?

[desjact]

Same problem here as Staross.
julia.bat crashes and test-julia.bat give the message :
Your OS does not support AVX instructions. OpenBLAS is using Nehalem
kernels as a fallback, which may give you poorer performance.
Please submit a bug report with steps to reproduce this fault, and any error mes
sages that follow . Thanks.

When I hit enter it just closes.
