/usr/lib/libhogweed.so.4: undefined symbol: __gmpn_cnd_sub_n

[probonopd]

Someone reports over at https://linuxfr.org/news/sortie-des-applications-de-bureau-de-onlyoffice-en-version-5-1-au-format-appimage:

# ArchLinux
$ ./DesktopEditors-x86_64.AppImage
./DesktopEditors: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libhogweed.so.4: undefined symbol: __gmpn_cnd_sub_n

Seems we had a similar issue with libhogweed here, maybe @darealshinji has an idea what needs to be done to fix this.

[darealshinji]

__gmpn_cnd_sub_n is a symbol from libgmp, see: readelf -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgmp.so.10 | grep __gmpn_cnd_sub_n

My assumption here: it loads libhogweed from the system instead of the AppImage, perhaps it already has loaded an incompatible version libgmp from within the AppImage? Bundle libhogweed with all its dependencies and see if that fixes it.

[probonopd]

Thanks @darealshinji

[agolybev]

Hi @darealshinji, Bundling libhogweed inside AppImage doesn't fix problem. We'll investigate it. Thank you for your approach.

[vstoykov]

On Fedora 28 I have the same error

./DesktopEditors: symbol lookup error: /lib64/libhogweed.so.4: undefined symbol: __gmpn_cnd_sub_n

[AnwarShah]

The same thing happened on Manjaro deepin for me. What's the problem? Is it fixed?

[mittman]

+1 with AppImage on ArchLinux

[mikhailnov]

chmod +x ./DesktopEditors-x86_64.AppImage
./DesktopEditors-x86_64.AppImage --appimage-extract
cd squashfs-root
rm -fv ./usr/bin/libgmp.so*
./AppRun

[mikhailnov]

You bundle libgmp.so, which loaded (LD_PRELOAD) before the system libhogweed.so. But system libhogweed.so is linked againsted the system libgmp.so, not yours. Either bundle both of them or don't bundle them both.

[metal3d]

Hi,

We really need to have a fixed package, Appimage or RPM/DEB because, at this time, there is no way to startup OnlyOffice on Fedora 29. Any chance to see it working soon ?

[mikhailnov]

@metal3d you can use https://gitlab.com/nixtux-packaging/appimage2pkg to build an RPM for Fedora from Appimage. that script already deletes ./usr/bin/libgmp.so*

[metal3d]

Thanks @mikhailnov, but unfortunately the built RPM is not correct:

Error: Transaction check error:
  file /usr/share/icons from install of onlyoffice-desktopeditors-appimage-5.1.27-6.x86_64 conflicts with file from package filesystem-3.9-2.fc29.x86_64
  file /usr/share/icons/hicolor/256x256 from install of onlyoffice-desktopeditors-appimage-5.1.27-6.x86_64 conflicts with file from package hicolor-icon-theme-0.17-3.fc29.noarch

And I guess it will have the same problem than ONLYOFFICE/DesktopEditors#146 for Fedora 29.

[mikhailnov]

Libcurl gnutls works in the appimage 9n ALT Linux, where libcurls is also built without gnutls.

[probonopd]

@metal3d you can use https://gitlab.com/nixtux-packaging/appimage2pkg to build an RPM for Fedora from Appimage.

Why would anyone want to do that? Users can extract an AppImage directly using -appimage-extract, and then delete the offending library.

that script already deletes ./usr/bin/libgmp.so*

The proper fix would be to do this in whatever script builds the AppImage in the first place.

[mikhailnov]

Why would anyone want to do that?

Because onlyoffice has not been able to make a good linux build since the first public version of onlyoffice.
When we talk about corporate machines, manyal installation of Appimage is unacceptable. The official RPM is buggy and unusable. So I had to repack the appimage into RPM.

The proper fix would be to do this in whatever script builds the AppImage in the first place.

Onlyoffice has long been talking about linux but their builds have always had errors, so I wouldn't wait for a propper solution.

[mikhailnov]

More than that, when desktop editors were released, you wrote that you want different linux distributions to include onlyoffice. About 3 years have passed. Desktopeditors are reported to be unbuildable from source.

[mikhailnov]

@metal3d Fixed in appimage2pkg v1.2
https://gitlab.com/nixtux-packaging/appimage2pkg/tags/
https://yadi.sk/d/MwQr75YWqs2kKA

[probonopd]

So to be clear:

The authors of https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/appimage-desktopeditors need to delete usr/bin/libgmp.so* inside their AppImage to fix this.

cc @agolybev

[mikhailnov]

No,, that's not a solution.
I've looked into how the AppImage is packed https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/appimage-desktopeditors/blob/master/DesktopEditors-x86_64.yml
OnlyOffice deb is just being repacked.
All libraries, inluding libgmp.so.* are bundled automatically by AppImage builder because binaries from the deb package depend on them.
Binaries in the deb must be fixed, not the AppImage.

[GarlandKey]

Can confirm - this is still an issue on Arch based distros as of today. This installation breaking bug was posted over a year ago :S

[pojntfx]

Can also confirm on Fedora Silverblue 30.

[tyu1996]

There is also a similar issue on latest build (v5.3.5), which the terminal shows this message:

./DesktopEditors: symbol lookup error: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgnutls.so.30: undefined symbol: __gmpz_limbs_write

BTW, my machine is running Ubuntu-based Pop!OS.

[probonopd]

Is libgmp being bundled? What happens if it is removed from the AppImage?

Reference:
https://abi-laboratory.pro/?view=compat_report&l=gmp&v1=5.1.3&v2=6.0.0&obj=f9158&kind=abi

Yes, after removed libgmp* inside the extracted AppImage, it runs. So will be not including libgmp* is the solution for future AppImage releases?

[probonopd]

So will be not including libgmp* is the solution for future AppImage releases?

Can we reasonably expect libgmp* to come as part of the default installation of all major Linux distributions?

[mikhailnov]

Here are reverse dependencies - all packages that depend from libgmp in ROSA 2016.1 repositories:

So, yes, we can expect libgmp to be a part of default installations of most GNU/Linux distributions.

[probonopd]

Thanks for your analysis. Added to the list of libraries that are recommended not to be bundled inside AppImages.

[tyu1996]

I did a file search on both library files "libhogweed*" (this issue's topic) , "libgnutls*" and "libgmp*" (I encountered) inside two freshly installed distro Solus 4.0 and Ubuntu 18.04 without installing extra dev dependencies.

find /usr/lib64/ -name "libhogweed*"
find /usr/lib64/ -name "libgmp**"
find /usr/lib64/ -name "libgnutls**"

Yep, they are all coming along as a part of both systems. This might can support the previous statement by @probonopd .

@agolybev may take a look.

[la55u]

same issue here, Fedora 31, AppImage v5.4.1

$ ./DesktopEditors-x86_64.AppImage 
./DesktopEditors: symbol lookup error: /lib64/libhogweed.so.5: undefined symbol: __gmpn_cnd_sub_n

[probonopd]

Again, please do not bundle libgmp.so.10 in the AppImage.

[ShockwaveNN]

This issue is rather old

I've just rechecked it on latest Arch and Fedora 35 with latest stable DesktopEdtiors and it's run fine without any visible errors

I'm closing this issue and if you got any other issues with AppImage on another OS (not Arch) - it's better to create a new issue
