[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #52414] llvm 4.0.1 fails on ./configure --enable-jit

[Michael Godfrey]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #52414 (project octave):

It appears that https://llvm.org/ is the home page
for the LLVM project. This shows a release list:

7.0.1: Dec 2018
7.0.0: Sep 2018
6.0.1: July 2018
5.0.2: May 2018
6.0.0: Mar 2018
5.0.1: Dec 2017
5.0.0: Sep 2017
4.0.1: Jul 2017
4.0.0: Mar 2017
3.9.1: Dec 2016
3.9.0: Sep 2016
3.8.1: July 2016
3.8.0: Mar 2016

However, on Fedora 29 I have installed:
address@hidden octave]$ rpm -qa|grep llvm
621:llvm6.0-libs-6.0.1-7.fc29.x86_64
675:llvm-libs-7.0.0-2.fc29.x86_64
1231:llvm-doc-7.0.0-2.fc29.noarch
1682:llvm3.9-libs-3.9.1-14.fc29.x86_64
2474:llvm-devel-7.0.0-2.fc29.x86_64
3049:llvm-7.0.0-2.fc29.x86_64

This is just accidental. 

dnf list all llvm* shows a long list of available packages.
The list starts with 3.9.1-14 and ends with 7.0.0-2.
The 7.0.0-2 version is just llvm.*

Previous versions are, for example, llvm3.9.x86_64

Clearly (???) any combination of llvm and llvmx.y can be
installed together.

However, the list goes from 3.9 to 5.0. Fedora appears to have
dropped 4.0.x

How all this is supposed to work seems as unclear as before.

And, different linuxes likely handle all this differently?
