install zef as user #91

bazzaar · 2022-08-04T15:58:02Z

System is Opensuse Leap 15.4, on x86_64

The command that's detailed in the rakudo_pkg readme, to install zef as user -

  /opt/rakudo-pkg/bin/install-zef

... didn't work for me. One of the tests failed with the message complaining about sic. not finding a dependency(s).

I seem to remember npm might have been mentioned too?

I tried a couple of times, no luck, (deleting the .zef dir after each failed attempt)

and then tried using the different instructions on the ugexe/zef github page -

   git clone https://github.com/ugexe/zef.git
   cd zef  
   raku -I. bin/zef install .

which successfully installed zef without error. (Subsequently I've been able to install all the modules I need.)

Also, since then I found that npm / nodejs were not installed on my (new build) system, and have now added them.

I looked for a page or section that detailed rakudo / zef system dependencies, but did not find anything.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

Hi @nxadm , I've tried again (this time on another new build, different machine). I still get the same result (see below). The difference might be I'm installing via YAST?

I added the rakudo-pkg repository as per the instructions on the dl.cloudsmith.io [Suse/Zypper] page

aaaa@bbbbbb:~> sudo zypper repos

#  | Alias                        | Name                         | Enabled | GPG Check | Refresh

 3 | nxadm-pkgs-rakudo-pkg-noarch | nxadm-pkgs-rakudo-pkg-noarch | Yes     | (rp) Yes  | Yes
 4 | nxadm-pkgs-rakudo-pkg-source | nxadm-pkgs-rakudo-pkg-source | Yes     | (rp) Yes  | Yes

I then installed rakudo-pkg in the YAST package manager.

I added rakudo to the users path,

aaaa@bbbbbb:~> /opt/rakudo-pkg/bin/add-rakudo-to-path

Added rakudo to PATH. You can activate the changes by typing:

aaaa@bbbbbb:~> source /home/aaaa/.profile
aaaa@bbbbbb:~> which raku
/opt/rakudo-pkg/bin/raku

Then tried the zef install,

aaaa@bbbbbb:~> /opt/rakudo-pkg/bin/install-zef

I didn't know how to reopen this issue, so I've just added this comment.

silentTeee · 2022-10-13T05:38:10Z

Looks like this issue also occurs with Fedora 36. Just did a fresh install and was able to install rakudo-pkg via the automated bash script, but the moment I tried to run install-zef, I got the same error.

Is it a recent installation? Is rakudo-pkg up-to-date (dnf upgrade)? Very puzzling.

silentTeee · 2022-10-13T11:10:49Z

@nxadm yeah, by sheer coincidence, I had installed Fedora 36 in a VM via the ISO on their official page minutes before my first comment to test whether an issue with another Raku module occurred in Fedora. I had run the setup script for rakudo-pkg as a regular user, then used sudo dnf to install rakudo-pkg, then tried to call zef-install as you saw.

Unlikely as it may be, could there be a difference in the configuration when yoi install in a container?

silentTeee · 2022-10-13T11:16:11Z

Or perhaps the fact that you installed zef as root first? Seems unlikely though. Let me try and capture my entire terminal output from the beginning to the end of the rakudo-pkg setup and see if it gives us a hint...

silentTeee · 2022-10-13T11:38:02Z

Okay, as a sanity check, I tried running install-zef via sudo and that worked! Then when I ran it as a regular user right after that it also worked. So basically, if the person installing zef doesn't have sudo privileges they won't be able to proceed.

Uhhhh, so I hate to break it to you @nxadm but apparently this is broken on Ubuntu 20.04LTS as well...

usev6 · 2022-11-05T13:27:13Z

I stumbled upon the same problem today when trying to run /opt/rakudo-pkg/bin/install-zef on Debian 11.

What I noticed so far was that the underlying error happened here: https://github.com/ugexe/zef/blob/0952bcbcbb/lib/Zef/Client.rakumod#L1084

From what I was able to see from adding some debugging output, the CATCH block didn't caught the expected

X::AdHoc.new(payload => "Cannot locate native library 'libUnavailable.so': libUnavailable.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory")

but a

X::Multi::NoMatch.new(dispatcher => proto method protect (Lock: |) {*}, capture => \(Lock, -> ;; $_? is raw = OUTER::<$_> { #`(Block|4239333600880) ... }))

So a new X::Method::NotFound was thrown (because method payload wasn't found for that X::Multi::NoMatch) and made the test fail.

While I was still debugging, the command /opt/rakudo-pkg/bin/install-zef suddenly succeeded.
I'm trying to dig a bit deeper.

usev6 · 2022-11-05T14:04:52Z

It looks like /opt/rakudo-pkg/bin/install-zef works consistently when I execute

$ raku -e 'use NativeCall'

before. (Once is enough.)

And it fails consistently when I don't do that.

Maybe some Rakudo bug with precompilation, NativeCall and using EVAL?

@ugexe Did you by chance see something similar before?

ugexe · 2022-11-05T14:47:07Z

I've never seen such an error, no. It seems like a rakudo precompilation bug to me

usev6 · 2022-11-05T16:20:03Z

Thanks for looking.

BTW, the X::Multi::NoMatch seems to come from this call to protect: https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/blob/bfc6f6db88/lib/NativeCall.rakumod#L296

I'm trying (but struggling) to golf the problem down, before opening an issue over at https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/issues.

nxadm · 2022-11-05T17:25:08Z

Thank you all for following this up. It looks like @usev6 found a workaround for the time being (raku -e 'use NativeCall').

Zef is installed for the root user in /opt/rakudo-pkg, but in principle /opt/rakudo-pkg/bin/install-zef just uses raku to install a fresh zef. Maybe it gets confused by existing precompiled dirs in /opt/rakudo-pkg, when it should not.

I'll wait a little to see if @usev6 is able to golf it to pass it on to rakudo, and add the workaround to the packages.

usev6 · 2022-11-05T21:17:32Z

I think I've tracked the problem down (or at least have made substantial progress).

If I'm not mistaken the error pops up, because Rakudo tries to precompile stuff (and especially NativeCall) in the lib dir /opt/rakudo-pkg/var/zef/lib/ -- but it doesn't have write permissions to create /opt/rakudo-pkg/var/zef/lib/.precomp if you try to install zef for an unprivileged user.

My golfed version of the problem looks like this. (It only works if NativeCall isn't already precompiled in ~/.raku -- so maybe it's easiest to test with a newly created user.)

$ mkdir -p ~/tmp/rakudo-pkg_gh91/lib
$ cd ~/tmp/rakudo-pkg_gh91
$ cat >lib/Foo.rakumod
use NativeCall;
class Foo {
    method foo {
        sub native_sub is native('Unavailable') { !!! };
        native_sub();
    }
}
^D
$ chmod -w lib
$ raku -Ilib -e 'use Foo; Foo.new.foo'
Cannot resolve caller protect(Lock:U: Block:D); none of these signatures matches:
    (Lock:D: &code, *%_)

  in block <unit> at -e line 1

Without the chmod command, the exception which is expected in https://github.com/ugexe/zef/blob/0952bcbcbb/lib/Zef/Client.rakumod#L1084 is thrown:

$ raku -Ilib -e 'use Foo; Foo.new.foo'

Added the workaround for the moment:

I will close this as the workaround seems to work. Please re-open if this is broken for you in the last package.
