Illegal instruction (Mac M1 Max 13.3)

Question

I've scoured discord and stack exchange but haven't found any solution that works for me.

When I run a local validator (Solana test validator built from source), I get error:

Ledger location: test-ledger
Log: test-ledger/validator.log
⠉ Initializing...
/bin/sh: line 1: 145 Illegal instruction: 4...

Note: the 145 number changes every time.

Any pointers on where to go from here? Without being able to run a local validator, I can't actually test my code.

Hm, it definitely looks like something went wrong while building.

In general, you should always use the same version of Rust as the repo. For 1.15, you should be using Rust 1.66.1 https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/blob/v1.15-abandoned/rust-toolchain.toml

Can you try building against master with Rust 1.67.1? Here's its toolchain file for reference https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/blob/master/rust-toolchain.toml
