Linking fails on Raspberry Pi due to missing `dlsym` #4064

Reported by @zaherg on Twitter in https://twitter.com/zaherg/status/588220329249636352:

He said earlier that he was following these instructions http://rethinkdb.com/docs/install/raspbian/

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

Just chaining -ldl behind

RT_LDFLAGS += $(V8_LIBS) $(PROTOBUF_LIBS) $(PTHREAD_LIBS) $(MALLOC_LIBS) $(ICUI18N_LIBS) $(ICUUC_LIBS) $(ICUDATA_LIBS)

in src/build.mk didn't help. https://twitter.com/zaherg/status/588436080430620674

A possible workaround is to install ICU and not use --fetch icu.

zaherg · 2015-04-17T06:00:59Z

is there any specific things I can try ?

AtnNn · 2015-04-17T14:38:24Z

@linuxjuggler what Linux distribution are you running? Have you tried installing ICU and not using --fetch icu?

zaherg · 2015-04-17T20:53:45Z

Am on pi2 and using raspian

And nope i didnt tried to install it nor i know what is it to be honest

u9520107 · 2015-05-12T09:54:57Z

test on arch linux on pi2, also fails on the same error.
I did install icu not use the fetched one.

u9520107 · 2015-05-13T06:06:48Z

@danielmewes I appended -ldl like you said, and have a succesful build!
Running on arch-linux on raspberry pi2. With icu installed.

./configure --with-system-malloc --allow-fetch
make

However make install resulted in error. But the rethinkdb binary was working.

danielmewes · 2015-05-13T18:10:44Z

@u9520107 Good to know. So at least in some cases that appears to be the solution then.

Do you still happen have the make install output somewhere?

u9520107 · 2015-05-15T15:52:56Z

@danielmewes sorry for the late reply...
Error after sudo make install on rpi2 with arch linux

The assets folder is indeed empty though. Maybe I should redo the build process in a fresh folder when I have some free time.

danielmewes · 2015-05-15T20:04:49Z

@u9520107 thanks, that looks like m4 is simply not installed.

grempe · 2015-06-10T05:48:51Z

I am having the same issue. Raspberry Pi 2 running Raspbian (Wheezy). Here is the output of the configure and make commands:

glenn@rp1 ~/rethinkdb-2.0.2 $ uname -a
Linux rp1 3.18.13-v7+ #785 SMP PREEMPT Mon May 18 17:53:02 BST 2015 armv7l GNU/Linux

First failure result was:

https://gist.github.com/grempe/d47f3a6d24ef9f9f7f0e

Then I added libicu-dev (trying to follow suggestion above):

sudo apt-get install libicu-dev

This resulted in a different failure. Here is the output:

https://gist.github.com/grempe/6aee26652424628fbdfc

AtnNn · 2015-06-10T17:45:30Z

@grempe that does look like the same issue.

Have you tried the patch suggested in #4064 (comment) ?

grempe · 2015-06-11T01:10:03Z

OK, that worked.

I removed the whole tarfile directory, re-downloaded, and unpacked, and made the patch change suggested after which it made it to the final step of the make (after several hours). Keep in mind also that I had run this prior to install and I'm not sure now if this will be needed or not:

sudo apt-get install libicu-dev

Here is the full output.

https://gist.github.com/grempe/18450eed500025975811

However, this brought me to the next issue. The install fails:

glenn@rp1 ~/rethinkdb-2.0.2 $ sudo checkinstall make install

Cleaning up...OK

Bye.

I had to run through this a few times. It seems the install script makes assumptions about the existence of certain directories (which don't exist on a Raspbian system by default). I'm assuming your installation script doesn't create missing directories on its own (or is this an artifact of running this make install through 'checkinstall' which wraps everything up in a deb package so I can more easily uninstall later?). I had to do:

sudo mkdir /usr/local/share/doc
sudo mkdir /usr/local/var
sudo mkdir /usr/local/var/lib
sudo mkdir /usr/local/var/lib/rethinkdb

After this the install succeeded and I was at least able to start rethinkdb in the foreground.

Hopefully these changes will be baked into the project and the Raspbian install instructions so others don't have to discover this thread to make it all work.

Thanks

A possible fix is in review 2980 assigned to @danielmewes

danielmewes · 2015-06-11T01:57:48Z

Thanks for the writeup @grempe .

@AtnNn Sounds like we should include those mkdirs in the make install rules (assuming they're currently missing).

AtnNn · 2015-06-11T03:41:18Z

I've opened a separate issue for the missing directories: #4377
