Installation errors with opam #11

bentxt · 2024-08-23T10:00:54Z

Hi
I try to install this package on macos and I get the following errors:

opam install opam-check-npm-deps

I am not sure why this error is happening, it's in opam-solver which is an indirect dependency of opam-check-npm-deps.

Could you try running opam update and then opam install opam-check-npm-deps please?

jchavarri · 2024-08-23T10:09:55Z

The latest version of opam-solver is 2.2.1 but the logs show that 2.1.6 is trying to be installed.

bentxt · 2024-08-26T08:37:17Z

Just on a short note, it unfortunately didnt work and it seems like the same error

I could however opam install opam-solver

Could you try running opam update and then opam install opam-check-npm-deps please?

I don't know if you saw that, but what I don't understand is that according the error message the installations seems to fail where it wants to install 'opam-solver', but opam install opam-solver runs fine ...

The following actions failed
│ λ build opam-solver 2.1.6

bentxt · 2024-08-26T12:12:31Z

... hold on, the previous statement was not entirely true

actually opam install opam-solver.2.1.6 doesn't work and fails exactly with the same error message

bentxt · 2024-08-26T12:20:51Z

what I find also a bit strange, at the end of the error message, there is this statement:

but this file opamCudfSolverSig.ml is here:

Sorry, this statement was also wrong, it is the mli file that is needed and that is indeed missing

bentxt · 2024-08-26T13:02:32Z

I have tracked down the part of the installation that fails

The command below is looking for an mli file 'opamCudfSolverSig.mli' which is not available
here is how the sources of opam-solver dir looks:

I also tried to find out more about this message:

Error: posix_spawn(): Permission denied

This error show up when I go in the root of the project and run make, where the Makefile calls dune

~/.opam/default/bin/dune build --profile=release --root .   --promote-install-files -- opam-installer.install opam.install
Error: posix_spawn(): Permission denied

So maybie the problems stem from dune?

bentxt · 2024-08-26T13:27:50Z

I think I has to do with dune, because opam-solver builds when I downgrade dune

I read somewhere that dune 3.11.1 introduced some new stuff around macos and posix_spawn(). So I downgraded dune to 3.9.1:

opam install dune.3.09.1

Then I got the following slightly absurd error message:

dune build --profile=release --root .   --promote-install-files -- opam-installer.install opam.install
Error: execve(/Users/ben/.bun/bin/echo): Permission denied

So of course I've tossed the ~/.bun stuff and voila, make worked (besides the mli warnings from above)

bentxt · 2024-08-26T13:33:51Z

I now also can install the rest of the packages. It seems like this is possible because I've downgraded dune:

dune --version
3.9.1

From my humble user experience, the error reporting experience was really poor, since in the initial global error report there was no clear reference to the faulty dune command.
