CouchDB failed to build against Erlang 16 #18256

Same problem here:
https://gist.github.com/fmartingr/6590687182ac4bf76060

Surfing around noticed a bug in the archlinux forums saying that Erlang R16B is not compatible with couchdb 1.2.1.

adamv · 2013-03-06T23:32:53Z

Not surprising, this sort of thing happens every Erlang major release.

dch · 2013-03-10T10:43:26Z

Correct. Normally supporting the "next' erlang release is pretty quick. This is a tad tricky; erlang R16 drops support for a language feature that one of our core dependencies mochiweb uses.

Mochiweb upstream has been updated to support R16 but this hasn't been rolled into couchdb yet. I should start a fork on that next week https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1598 if you want to follow it.

@jacknagel when this is working it might not go straight into our coming 1.3.0 release. Can we point the recipe to a fork for example?

tnightingale · 2013-03-10T20:46:13Z

I am also having this problem. Details: https://gist.github.com/tnightingale/1913d8a51ab46e632d78

Looks like it.

@jodah what's the output of erl +V from your terminal?

i have the same install -v error output @tnightingale & @hkjels posted
erlang is freshly installed and erl +v prints this: Erlang (SMP,ASYNC_THREADS,HIPE) (BEAM) emulator version 5.10.1

davidjrice · 2013-03-12T02:04:11Z

Can confirm, does not work on OS X 10.8.2.

CouchDB 1.3.0 is currently in release candidate. I have yet to test if it will address the Erlang R16B compatiblity. This is probably the most likely source of a fix.
http://markmail.org/message/bitxx777ldff56px

To workaround in the time being you can revert back to Erlang R15B03-1

brew uninstall erlang
cd /usr/local
git checkout 168742f Library/Formula/erlang.rb

jodah · 2013-03-12T04:19:58Z

Perhaps not needed now, but I have the same printout as Stefan:

Erlang (SMP,ASYNC_THREADS,HIPE) (BEAM) emulator version 5.10.1

I applied the fix that David suggested and this seems to have fixed the build.

Thank you!

But when I launch couchdb I still seem to get an erlang problem:

@jodah I think that error you are now having is unrelated.

This error with CouchDB failing to boot is usually due to an error in permissions.

I would run brew doctor and ensure everything is okay with your system. You could also try launching it with sudo couchdb temporarily, but I would recommend fixing your homebrew install than using this.

Another version of CouchDB could potentially be started on your machine try seeing if ps auwx | grep couch turns up any old processes

Failure to start Mochiweb: eaddrinuse

Error Address In Use.

means you already have something running on port 5984. This is usually
another couch instance not shut down.

Protip, never run couchdb under sudo/root. you screw the pooch with
permissions. Ref http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Installing_on_OSX for a fix
for that.

adamv · 2013-03-12T20:22:11Z

@jacknagel @mistydemeo @MikeMcQuaid what's our long-term plan for newer versions of Erlang breaking high-profile stuff like CouchDB? Maintain the last major version of Erlang in core?

MikeMcQuaid · 2013-03-12T20:42:42Z

@adamv I'd say just not update them.

adamv · 2013-03-12T20:48:45Z

Not update what?

MikeMcQuaid · 2013-03-13T08:15:58Z

Sorry, not update Erlang until CouchDB is working. Perhaps we could add a DSL or something which maintains important packages that depend on a library that we want to make sure work before upgrading?

dch · 2013-03-13T08:39:45Z

TBH I should have this fixed end of next week latest, I already got a
partially functioning branch up.

What would be good is for things like couch that have tight integration, to
be able to specify an erlang version in the recipe directly. Like an
extended version of `depends_on "Erlang" < R16 && depends_on "Erlang" > R14
for example.

I can do this in the configure script, but by then it's too late for most
users and the message will be hidden inside a crufty layer of autotools
logs.

MikeMcQuaid · 2013-03-13T08:45:09Z

Unfortunately we don't handle versions that way but we should track these things that have tight integration, agreed.

janl · 2013-03-17T17:51:45Z

It might be a little longer until we achieve R16B compat. You can follow the issue here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1696

Is there anything we can do on the homebrew front to make this less painful for users?

Something like:

$ brew install couchdb
NOTE: You have Erlang R16B, CouchDB needs R15B03-1 or earlier for a few more weeks.

Do:

    $ brew unlink erlang
    $ cd /usr/local
    $ git checkout 168742f Library/Formula/erlang.rb
    $ brew install erlang
    $ brew install couchdb

Or so?

adamv · 2013-03-17T17:56:35Z

We can write a "Erlang15Requirement" class for CouchDB with this message.

janl · 2013-03-17T18:01:11Z

I’m happy to do the legwork if you can point me to an example to steal from.

adamv · 2013-03-17T18:02:53Z

Check out boost.rb and dsniff.rb for Requirement examples

janl · 2013-03-17T19:09:47Z

Hope this is roughly okay, I tested this locally, but I am sure this can be improved :)

awatts · 2013-03-18T19:19:39Z

I'm getting a weird error after following the work-around instructions, in that it's telling me that I need a version of Erlang less than or equal to the one I have installed, not the version I have installed:

drew@kaji:~$ brew install couchdb
Erlang <= R15B03-1 is required to install.

You have a erlang version R15B03-1

The work-around is:

brew unlink erlang
cd /usr/local
git checkout 168742f Library/Formula/erlang.rb
brew install erlang
brew install couchdb

Error: An unsatisfied requirement failed this build.

Thoughts?

There are multiple things wrong with the check being used for the erlang version. I'm just going to make it depend on erlang-r15 from homebrew-versions.

janl · 2013-03-19T12:46:00Z

Cool, thanks! Sorry for getting it wrong, I just copied the broad strokes and hoped the reviews would catch any errors :)

samueljohn · 2013-03-19T13:07:14Z

Oh @jacknagel I pulled the R15B requirement mentioned above. I did not spot something terribly wrong so, as a quick-fix, I pulled that. Agree that explicitly depending on erlang R15B from homebrew-versions is probably the better approach.

Got it, thank! :) brew updates

What does that mean exactly? Where can I read up on “homebrew-versions”?

janl · 2013-03-19T13:13:27Z

Ah, brew tap homebrew/versions

But then:

I already have R15B03-1 in `/usr/local/Cellar/erlang/R15B03-1
(I understand that homebrew/versions/erlang-r15 is a a different package)
hombrew/versions does not seem to use a bottle, which is a very unfortunate since Erlang takes forever to build.
It is broken. (I tried the download twice)

Sorry for being a pain, but I am trying to find a convenient solution for CouchDB users.

Thanks for your patience!

jacknagel · 2013-03-19T17:38:00Z

The reasons that the requirement didn't work are (a) Formula#version doesn't necessarily correspond to the installed version, (b) it returns a Version object, not a string, so the pattern matching fails, and (c) the condition was reversed.

I've fixed the broken checksum on erlang-r15.

jacknagel · 2013-03-19T17:44:20Z

@adamv @MikeMcQuaid Do we want to pull erlang-r15 into core and add the bottles back?

jacknagel · 2013-03-19T17:44:40Z

Perhaps we should just roll erlang back to R15 and put R16 in versions.

MikeMcQuaid · 2013-03-19T17:55:39Z

@jacknagel That's what I'm thinking. I'd think most users of Erlang are using CouchDB so it makes sense to just roll back until it's sorted.

samueljohn · 2013-03-19T18:09:45Z

Ops, I wasn't aware of that, sorry, Jack.
But if you revert, note, I did a little fix to erlang and erlang-r15 so that it can build on Xcode-only Macs.

samueljohn · 2013-03-19T18:14:31Z

Won't we upset erlang users if we revert to R15? I would prefer to to leave it as is with the depends_on 'homebrew/versions/erlang-r15.

dch · 2013-03-19T18:33:35Z

Hard to say, there is also riak, elixir, ejabberd, disco, rabbitmq,
geocouch**, sinan, thrift, yaws, wrangler and tsung. I can't comment on
their compatibility.

Given the circumstances I think reverting to R15B03-1 seems easiest. I don’t think others would mind much, erlang enthusiasts and devs can always build the latest version from versions or by hand (or use the Erlang Solutions distribution) and casual users will just see things work. Users of the other projects may disagree though :)

Again, we hope to get this fixed soon, so it won’t be long, but this is already affecting our users, so any help is greatly appreciated.

jacknagel · 2013-03-19T19:10:24Z

Alright, I'm going to revert it.

jodah · 2013-03-19T19:21:11Z

Homebrew's defaulted is now R15B03-1, correct?

jacknagel · 2013-03-19T19:21:47Z

Yeah.

jodah · 2013-03-19T19:23:28Z

Thanks guys. If Hombrew is not a godsend, its damn near close. Cheers!

janl · 2013-03-19T19:26:32Z

<3 Homebrew.

natevw · 2013-05-07T00:27:30Z

My system ended up getting upgraded to Erlang R16B and I could no longer re-install CouchDB (to try deal with #19641). Brew was claiming "erlang-R15B03-1 already installed" but erl was reporting R16B. I had to brew unlink erlang && brew link erlang to make the previous version usable again.

Hope this helps someone.

adagios · 2013-05-07T10:10:37Z

It did, thanks!

please help,

janl · 2014-03-10T10:16:00Z

@Hussein1147 Your error message is distinctly different :)

The solution is in the first line:

Error opening log file /opt/local/var/log/couchdb/couch.log: permission denied

Make sure that the file has write permissions for the user you are starting CouchDB with.

This tends to happen when you try starting CouchDB with sudo first and later without.

Hussein1147 · 2014-03-10T13:21:58Z

@janl Hey! Thanks for writing back, i have set the permissions now its loging this message, im not sure if its a problem with Mochiweb

Failure to start Mochiweb: eaddrinuse

that’s a standard unix message that says that the port your CouchDB is configured to bind to is already in use.

Hussein1147 · 2014-03-10T13:24:17Z

I think i have to change the port in the /etc/couchdb/couch.ini no?

janl · 2014-03-10T13:26:05Z

maybe check if CouchDB is already running in an older instance. The standard port (5984) should not be used by any other programme.

Hussein1147 · 2014-03-10T13:26:34Z

@janl Thank you so much!!!
