Build fails on Julia v0.3.3

[davidssmith]

I ran Pkg.update(), and now the Blosc package is breaking everything.

julia> Pkg.build("Blosc")

I already tried nuking .julia/v0.3 and reinstalling, but that didn't work.

[davidssmith]

If I add -k to the curl option in download_cmd in BinDeps, I can get it to work, so I guess there is a certificate issue.

Is this a firewall thing?

[davidssmith]

Possibly. I was on the Vanderbilt University network, but I'm not aware of a university firewall that would block outgoing requests. That said, I can't reproduce the error at home coming from my private ISP, so you may be on to something.

How could I test this?

[cc7768]

I was given same error from a university network with Julia 0.3.4.

Edit: One way around this is similar to the approach previously mentioned, I changed download_cmd in BinDeps to wget instead of curl.

I will try and reproduce at home tonight on own network.

Closing as it seems to be a BinDeps issue. Please file an issue there.
