REPL cannot display arrays

[mkriele]

I get the following error

julia> x=[1,2]
2-element Array{Int64,1}:
Evaluation succeeded, but an error occurred while showing value of type Array{Int64,1}:
ERROR: premature end of integer: "24"
 in error at error.jl:21
 in parseint_nocheck at string.jl:1486
 in parseint_nocheck at string.jl:1523
 in parseint at string.jl:1526
 in writemime at repl.jl:21
 in display at multimedia.jl:117
 in display at multimedia.jl:119
 in display at multimedia.jl:151

The premature end of integer: "24" appears to be somewhat arbitrary. The error message above was obtained in the shell that opens upon double-clicking the julia application. However, when I call julia from emacs (using ESS) the ERROR-line reads

ERROR: premature end of integer: "25"

Otherwise the error message is the same.

I changed the title to a more accurate one. The methods show, showall, showcompact, print, println all work fine. But if I simply type an Array into the REPL, the REPL does not echo it but gives the above error message.
In the meanwhile, the mac binary referenced in my original title has been replaced to fix an unrelated issue. The issue reported here still persists with the new binary, and I do not know whether it is mac specific or not. For me this issue appeared when I upgraded vorm Julia 0.2 to 0.3 prerelease.

It may be entirely my lack of understanding, but I do not see why this is a duplicate of #5647. As far as I understand, sys.dll is windows-specific, while I have been using a Mac (10.9). I understand from the the first post of #5647 that the REPL used by GaborOslany can display arrays and crashes upon a further command. Gabor also reported that his problem only appears on a 32 bit Vista but not on 64 bit Vista. The OS used by me is 64 bit.

On Mac, the file is called sys.dylib, but it almost certainly the same issue. It's actually a exact duplicate of an older issue (which was fixed at the time), but I couldn't find the number.

@mkriele The easy way to tell is to search for sys.dylib inside of the lib/julia folder in your Julia installation. Since you're on a mac, that would be in: Julia-0.3.0-prerelease-<githash>.app/Contents/Resources/julia/lib/julia/, where githash is a long alphanumeric identifier for the version of Julia that was built. If sys.dylib exists there, please remove it and see if the issue persists.

Thanks Jameson and Elliot, you are right. I had the file sys.dylib in the app package and once I trashed it my issue was gone.
