Installing the purescript npm package fails #21

skykanin · 2020-05-07T17:48:01Z

Description

Installing purescript through npm i -g purescript fails with output shown underneath. Also tried installing the package in a local project, but got the same error.

I expect the package to install correctly without failure.

Thanks for the report!

hdgarrood · 2020-05-08T00:01:27Z

This looks similar to #16

hdgarrood · 2020-05-08T01:17:05Z

Can you check whether a file /home/skykanin/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/purescript/purs.bin exists directly after running this command? Also, if so, can you post the output of ldd /home/skykanin/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/purescript/purs.bin please?

hdgarrood · 2020-05-08T01:23:34Z

Oh also, is there a file /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 on your system?

skykanin · 2020-05-08T14:19:15Z

There is no /home/skykanin/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/purescript directory after running the install command, nor is there a /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 file on my system

hdgarrood · 2020-05-08T14:21:56Z

Ok, thanks. The file lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 is the dynamic loader for the purs binary, so if it doesn't exist on your system, it means that the prebuilt binaries aren't suitable for your system. You'll have to build the compiler from source. Hopefully, that should be as simple as getting stack installed and on your PATH, and rerunning npm i -g purescript.

skykanin · 2020-05-08T14:41:52Z

After installing stack npm i -g purescript now fails on a different step Ensure the appropriate GHC is installed. I have GHC version 8.6.5 installed. Is a different version required to build purescript 0.13.6?

hdgarrood · 2020-05-08T14:42:28Z

That seems odd, stack should take care of installing the appropriate GHC for you. Could you post the whole output please?

hdgarrood · 2020-05-08T14:46:20Z

Thanks. The EPERM suggests a permissions error. Unfortunately it's not clear from the error message what the program was trying to do which caused this error. Could you please try downloading the PureScript sources manually and running the same command? That is:

$ stack update
$ stack unpack purescript
$ cd purescript-0.13.6
$ stack setup

skykanin · 2020-05-08T14:48:37Z

On the last step stack setup I get this error I don't know how to install GHC on your system configuration, please install manually

skykanin · 2020-05-08T14:55:57Z

Ok, I think I found the issue. In the purescript source code stack.yaml file nix is disabled which causes the setup to fail on nix systems. So I changed it to true which fixed the issue. Not sure how you would fix this for the npm install script tho

hdgarrood · 2020-05-08T15:02:55Z

Maybe we could try to detect whether we are on a nix system and pass the --nix flag to Stack, which should have the same effect? I'm not sure.

skykanin · 2020-05-08T15:11:04Z

Yes, that sounds like it would fix the issue

hdgarrood · 2020-05-21T02:00:53Z

I've created #22, #23, and #24 to address the problems encountered here, so I'm going to close this in favour of those. Thanks again for the report!

fdietze · 2020-10-22T09:34:25Z

Couldn't the prebuilt binaries be linked statically instead? I'm wondering if that's an easier solution that could make the npm approach more portable.

hdgarrood · 2020-10-22T11:19:59Z

They could, but it’s not that easy to set up.
