Unable to install bottled gcc formula using brew
falzm opened this issue · 21 comments
- ran a
brewcommand and reproduced the problem with multiple formulae? If it's a problem with a single, official formula (not cask) please file this issue at Linuxbrew/homebrew-core: https://github.com/Linuxbrew/homebrew-core/issues/new/choose. If it's abrew caskproblem please file this issue at https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/issues/new/choose. If it's a tap (e.g. Homebrew/homebrew-php) problem please file this issue at the tap. - ran
brew updateand can still reproduce the problem? - ran
brew doctor, fixed all issues and can still reproduce the problem?
Actually my problem is why brew doctor is reporting a problem: see issue #893
- ran
brew configandbrew doctorand included their output with your issue?

Install Clang or brew install gcc
What you were trying to do (and why)
Install gcc formula (or any other formula it depends on, such as patchelf) in order to install any formula from source later on.

Successful formula installation.
Step-by-step reproduction instructions (by running brew commands)
brew install gcc
Error: Please install either readelf (from binutils) or file.
You need either readelf or file to pour bottles. If you have neither, you won't be able to use Linuxbrew as is.
If you want to make this work, and are willing to put some extra effort in, you can start by manually downloading and extracting the bottle for binutils and putting the readelf executable somewhere in your PATH. See https://bintray.com/linuxbrew/bottles/binutils#files
Hi @sjackman, thank you for the tip: it helped, but now I get another error (Error: no implicit conversion of nil into String):

Good catch, my system indeed didn't feature this command: I've copied it from another server and put it at /usr/bin/ldd, and now everything works fine. Thank a lot!
Glad to hear it, Marc!
@sjackman just out of curiosity, is there a reason why you recommend using /home/linuxbrew? I don't have much space dedicated to /home so I moved /home/linuxbrew to /volume1/linuxbrew and symlinked it to /home/linuxbrew (and changed the $PATH variable accordingly), but now I get the following error using the brew command:
$ brew doctor
Error: Failure while executing; `/volume1/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/patchelf --print-needed /volume1/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/Cellar/patchelf/0.9_1/bin/patchelf` exited with 1. Here's the output:(no output printed)
Does /volume1/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/patchelf --version work?
Does /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/patchelf --version work?
Install Linuxbrew in /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/ if possible so that you can use precompiled binary packages (known as bottles) for non-relocatable formula.
The precompiled binary bottles of non-relocatable bottles can only be used if you install in /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew, otherwise they have to be built from source. See the documentation below. On macOS the default installation directory is /usr/local. On Linux the default installation directory is /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew.
Looks like it:
$ /volume1/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/patchelf --version
patchelf 0.9A symlink may work, but isn't fully tested, and may break in some cases.
I'm not sure I understand this correctly:
Cellar (cellar)
Optionally contains the value of HOMEBREW_CELLAR in which the bottles were built. Most compiled software contains references to its compiled location so cannot be simply relocated anywhere on disk. If this value is :any or :any_skip_relocation this means that the bottle can be safely installed in any Cellar as it did not contain any references to its installation Cellar. This can be omitted if a bottle is compiled (as all default Homebrew ones are) for the default HOMEBREW_CELLAR of /usr/local/Cellar.
Does it mean that if I set HOMEBREW_CELLAR=":any" I can move /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/Cellar/ elsewhere?
No, it means for a given formula if cellar is :any that bottle can be installed regardless of where Linuxbrew is installed.
See for example hello, which is relocatable.
https://github.com/Linuxbrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/hello.rb#L8
Is that normal that the bottled patchelf binary is static?
$ ldd /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/patchelf
not a dynamic executableCompared to the one I have on another Linux server:
$ ldd /usr/bin/patchelf
linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffcc93fc000)
libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00007f9455159000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0x00007f9454e58000)

/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f9455464000)That could explain the Error: Failure while executing; /volume1/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/patchelf --print-needed /volume1/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/Cellar/patchelf/0.9_1/bin/patchelf exited with 1 error 🤔
Yes, patchelf is statically linked, so that it can be used before glibc and gcc are installed. You can however ignore that error. It's odd though that you are seeing. I'm not able to reproduce that behaviour myself. Other than brew doctor failing, is it working?
Besides that fact that I'm space-constrained in /home and since I cannot move /home/linuxbrew elsewhere I'll probably run out of space soon and won't be able to use it anymore, everything else seems to work yes :)
Hah. You can install Linuxbrew in any directory you like.
