tar: julia-xxx: Cannot create symlink to xxx: Operation not supported

Viewed 31

Trying to install Julia on a machine with the following specification:

Operating System: Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS Kernel: Linux 5.4.0-1090-azure Architecture: x86-64

I ran:

tar -xvzf julia-1.6.7-linux-x86_64.tar.gz

and got several error messages that look like these:

julia-1.6.7/lib/libjulia.so tar: julia-1.6.7/lib/libjulia.so: cannot create symlink to ‘libjulia.so.1.6’: operation not supported

julia-1.6.7/lib/julia/libgfortran.so tar: julia-1.6.7/lib/julia/libgfortran.so: Cannot create symlink to ‘libgfortran.so.4.0.0’: Operation not supported

Any suggestion on how to solve these error messages are much appreciated.
