error: could not compile 'regex-syntax'

[achilleas2942]

Hello,

I am running the optimizer on a remote cloud server and I am receiving the following error:

error: could not compile 'regex-syntax'

Do you have a clue? Does it have to do with the server's ports?

@achilleas2942 Thank you for reporting this. We've never encountered anything like this before. I don't think it has anything to do with the port. Could you share your Python code or provide a minimum example that replicates the error?

I ran the same script on several different servers and this error popped up only in one of them..

I got the following error when I tried to call the solver:

thread 'main' panicked at 'called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: 
   Os { code: 13, kind: PermissionDenied, message: "Permission denied" }', src/main.rs:200:88

This is because 443 is used for secure communication and I suppose it requires some additional configuration (certificates, etc). I changed the port to 3333 and your code works fine - it prints:

[2.0, 2.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, -2.0, 1.0, ...]

[9.83681209881683, 0.0501713005271658, -0.05208232314789814, ...]

Is it necessary that you use port 443?

I tried previously several ports but I always receive the same error on a specific server. On other servers (I use port 3047) the script works just fine and print the matrices.

@achilleas2942 This seems to me like a network-related issue. I'll close this issue for now, but if you figure out what the issue is, please let me know.
