Error: curl_easy_setopt: 48

[pmarg]

I am trying to install some packages in the cluster but I am getting an error. For example, installing DataFrames:

(v1.6) pkg> add DataFrames
    Updating registry at `~/.julia/registries/General`
    Updating git-repo `https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General.git`

I tried deleting LD_LIBRARY_PATH but the error persists. In the case of DataFrames the installation proceeds but in other cases I get errors such as:

Downloaded artifact: Xorg_libXext
ERROR: Unable to automatically install 'Xorg_libXext' from '/home/pmarg/.julia/packages/Xorg_libXext_jll/2vwNw/Artifacts.toml'

I have the same error trying to package julia for Guix and in my case it is due to curl being compiled on guix without ssh support.
So I think in your case it is the same, some functionality that Downloads.jl expect is missing in your curl.

[StefanKarpinski]

Seems like you are using a system libcurl that is too old. Possible solutions are: upgrade the system's libcurl or use a standard Julia build that includes the correct version of libcurl.

@StefanKarpinski Any idea what's the minimum version we need? No version is listed at https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/master/doc/build/build.md.
