Athame Failure: TMPDIR environment variable not set

[atsalolikhin-spokeo]

Hello,

I just installed athame on macOS Catalina. All 5 tests failed, but I am trying it anyway.

I'm getting the error

Athame Failure: TMPDIR environment variable not set

I did set TMPDIR but I'm getting the error anyway.

Any advice?

You might need to set it outside the shell or use export. The exact way environment variables are inherited seems to differ based on shell/os/etc, but this is a simple getenv call so it probably isn’t set at the level readline/zsh is reading it

[atsalolikhin-spokeo]

Thanks @ardagnir . I tried setting TMPDIR outside and inside the shell (both times with export TMPDIR=/tmp, but I am still getting the error that TMPDIR isn't set.

BTW, my shell is bash, not zsh. Does that matter?

[ardagnir]

The shell shouldn't matter. Athame's not doing anything tricky to get tmpdir so it should work if it's set, but you can also just change athame.c:106 to hardcode the tmpdir. Just replace getenv(temp_dir_loc) with the value of TMPDIR

Got it, thanks, @ardagnir .

When building Athame with ./readline_athame_setup.sh --prefix=$HOME/local/, I see:

Help?

I see this:

I set the following variables per the output of brew info readline:

For compilers to find readline you may need to set:
  export LDFLAGS="-L/Users/atsalolikhin/git/homebrew/opt/readline/lib"
  export CPPFLAGS="-I/Users/atsalolikhin/git/homebrew/opt/readline/include"

For pkg-config to find readline you may need to set:
  export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/Users/atsalolikhin/git/homebrew/opt/readline/lib/pkgconfig"
