Weird bug installing requirements.txt on VM #91

Closed ashgillman closed 3 years ago

ashgillman commented 3 years ago

I had a weird, repeatable bug on Michael's VM (from Edo) where running update_VM.sh would fail on python3 -m pip -U -r requirements.txt in SIRF-Exercises.

Pip was seg-faulting.

We had to remove all libraries in ~/.local/lib/python3.X and re-run the script.

This answer suggests this might have something to use of --only-binary, although I was unable to install without --only-binary=llvmlite and removing all other --only-binary flags didn't help...

I suggest we leave this issue open for a month or two and if no-one else runs into problems we close.

what's the value of the --only-binary anyway?

Well I confess I haven't dug into it deeply - perhaps I'll have a look tomorrow. My understanding is you install a pre-build binary so I added it to libraries with C-level, and that it would prevent you from having to build (i.e., quicker, potentially less space used, less chance of something going wrong in the build caused by compilers etc.)

I think this can be closed - we had no further issues on newer VM and --only-binary is being handled in #97
