[x] ran a brew command and reproduced the problem with multiple formulae? If it's a problem with a single, official formula (not cask) please file this issue at Linuxbrew/homebrew-core: https://github.com/Linuxbrew/homebrew-core/issues/new/choose. If it's a brew cask problem please file this issue at https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/issues/new/choose. If it's a tap (e.g. Homebrew/homebrew-php) problem please file this issue at the tap.
[x] ran brew update and can still reproduce the problem?
[ ] ran brew doctor, fixed all issues and can still reproduce the problem?

Actually my problem is why brew doctor is reporting a problem: see issue https://github.com/Linuxbrew/brew/issues/893

[x] ran brew config and brew doctor and included their output with your issue?

Error: Please install either readelf (from binutils) or file.

You need either readelf or file to pour bottles. If you have neither, you won't be able to use Linuxbrew as is.

If you want to make this work, and are willing to put some extra effort in, you can start by manually downloading and extracting the bottle for binutils and putting the readelf executable somewhere in your PATH. See https://bintray.com/linuxbrew/bottles/binutils#files

Good catch, my system indeed didn't feature this command: I've copied it from another server and put it at /usr/bin/ldd, and now everything works fine. Thank a lot!

sjackman commented 5 years ago

Glad to hear it, Marc!

falzm commented 5 years ago

@sjackman just out of curiosity, is there a reason why you recommend using /home/linuxbrew? I don't have much space dedicated to /home so I moved /home/linuxbrew to /volume1/linuxbrew and symlinked it to /home/linuxbrew (and changed the $PATH variable accordingly), but now I get the following error using the brew command:

$ brew doctor
Error: Failure while executing; `/volume1/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/patchelf --print-needed /volume1/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/Cellar/patchelf/0.9_1/bin/patchelf` exited with 1. Here's the output:

(no output printed)

sjackman commented 5 years ago

Does /volume1/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/patchelf --version work?

sjackman commented 5 years ago

Does /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/patchelf --version work?

sjackman commented 5 years ago

Install Linuxbrew in /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/ if possible so that you can use precompiled binary packages (known as bottles) for non-relocatable formula.

The precompiled binary bottles of non-relocatable bottles can only be used if you install in /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew, otherwise they have to be built from source. See the documentation below. On macOS the default installation directory is /usr/local. On Linux the default installation directory is /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew.

falzm commented 5 years ago

Looks like it:

$ /volume1/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/patchelf --version
patchelf 0.9

sjackman commented 5 years ago

A symlink may work, but isn't fully tested, and may break in some cases.

falzm commented 5 years ago

I'm not sure I understand this correctly:

Cellar (cellar)

Optionally contains the value of HOMEBREW_CELLAR in which the bottles were built. Most compiled software contains references to its compiled location so cannot be simply relocated anywhere on disk. If this value is :any or :any_skip_relocation this means that the bottle can be safely installed in any Cellar as it did not contain any references to its installation Cellar. This can be omitted if a bottle is compiled (as all default Homebrew ones are) for the default HOMEBREW_CELLAR of /usr/local/Cellar.

Does it mean that if I set HOMEBREW_CELLAR=":any" I can move /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/Cellar/ elsewhere?

sjackman commented 5 years ago

No, it means for a given formula if cellar is :any that bottle can be installed regardless of where Linuxbrew is installed. See for example hello, which is relocatable. https://github.com/Linuxbrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/hello.rb#L8

falzm commented 5 years ago

Is that normal that the bottled patchelf binary is static?

$ ldd /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/patchelf
    not a dynamic executable

Compared to the one I have on another Linux server:

$ ldd /usr/bin/patchelf
    linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffcc93fc000)
    libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00007f9455159000)
    libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0x00007f9454e58000)
    libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007f9454c42000)
    libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f9454897000)
    /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f9455464000)

That could explain the Error: Failure while executing; /volume1/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/patchelf --print-needed /volume1/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/Cellar/patchelf/0.9_1/bin/patchelf exited with 1 error 🤔

sjackman commented 5 years ago

Yes, patchelf is statically linked, so that it can be used before glibc and gcc are installed. You can however ignore that error. It's odd though that you are seeing. I'm not able to reproduce that behaviour myself. Other than brew doctor failing, is it working?

falzm commented 5 years ago

Besides that fact that I'm space-constrained in /home and since I cannot move /home/linuxbrew elsewhere I'll probably run out of space soon and won't be able to use it anymore, everything else seems to work yes :)

sjackman commented 5 years ago
