After installing Python with asdf I have a diferent version of cURL installed and running #53

I am not sure if this is Python, asdf or Emacs related but I have to start somewhere.

whereis curl
curl: /usr/bin/curl /home/cobi/.asdf/shims/curl /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/curl /usr/share/man/man1/curl.1.gz

Running Ubuntu 18.04.02 64 bits I had a version of cURL installed:

/usr/bin/curl --version
curl 7.58.0 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.58.0 OpenSSL/1.1.0g zlib/1.2.11 libidn2/2.0.4 libpsl/0.19.1 (+libidn2/2.0.4) nghttp2/1.30.0 librtmp/2.3
Release-Date: 2018-01-24
Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher http https imap imaps ldap ldaps pop3 pop3s rtmp rtsp smb smbs smtp smtps telnet tftp 
Features: AsynchDNS IDN IPv6 Largefile GSS-API Kerberos SPNEGO NTLM NTLM_WB SSL libz TLS-SRP HTTP2 UnixSockets HTTPS-proxy PSL

This particular version did not work well with Emacs and there was some issues about certificates, so I installed with HOMEBREW a different version:

/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/curl --version
curl 7.63.0 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.63.0 OpenSSL/1.0.2q
Release-Date: 2018-12-12
Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher http https imap imaps pop3 pop3s rtsp smb smbs smtp smtps telnet tftp 
Features: AsynchDNS IPv6 Largefile NTLM NTLM_WB SSL TLS-SRP UnixSockets HTTPS-proxy

After installing Python with asdf, I got this version working:

asdf list
python
  3.7.0
  anaconda3-5.3.1
/home/cobi/.asdf/shims/curl --version
curl 7.61.0 (x86_64-conda_cos6-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.61.0 OpenSSL/1.0.2p zlib/1.2.11
Release-Date: 2018-07-11
Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher http https imap imaps pop3 pop3s rtsp smb smbs smtp smtps telnet tftp 
Features: AsynchDNS IPv6 Largefile NTLM NTLM_WB SSL libz TLS-SRP UnixSockets HTTPS-proxy

Emacs uses cURL for several tasks inside some packages installed, like twittering-mode, to twit inside Emacs. I do not know why Python 3.7.0 takes over the system installed cURL. So far this particular version works ok in BASH CLI

What package is installing curl into shims? Could you try asdf which curl please? I would rather stick with the system curl unless you have a good reason not to.

rogeliozarate commented 5 years ago

Current global Python is 3.7.0, but the "conda" text in --version makes me think that the shim was installed by python-anaconda3-5.3.1.

$asdf which curl
No such plugin: curl

I agree with sticking to system cURL.

danhper commented 5 years ago

What version of asdf are you using? This seems to be a fairly old error message. Could you try with the latest version please? Thanks!

rogeliozarate commented 5 years ago

Updated asdf to release v0.7.1

asdf which curl
/home/cobi/.asdf/installs/python/anaconda3-5.3.1/bin/curl

Ok, so the behavior seems perfectly normal but it is rather an incompatibility between the version of curl (or SSL certificates) provided by anaconda and emacs. I am not sure if there is something I can do on my side to help for this. I would simply recommend to uninstall curl installed by anaconda and stick with the system version.

rogeliozarate commented 5 years ago

I agree with you. It is surprising to me that a language version install his own cURL version. Thanks for the help and the insights.

danhper commented 5 years ago

I think anaconda bundles up quite a few libraries which are usually provided by system packages to avoid version incompatibilities. I suppose it is possible to choose which libraries/executable anaconda should install but you should probably check anaconda documentation for that.

As a corollary, if someone gets here with a similar issue:
