Gettting `could not determine kind of name` ZMQ related errors

[carlisia]

Hi @dwhitena, I ran into an issue, haven't been able to load the Go kernel yet, this might be the reason:

☻ go get github.com/gophergala2016/gophernotes

github.com/gophergala2016/gophernotes/Godeps/_workspace/src/github.com/alecthomas/gozmq

could not determine kind of name for C.ZMQ_HWM could not determine kind of name for C.ZMQ_MCAST_LOOP could not determine kind of name for C.ZMQ_RECOVERY_IVL_MSEC could not determine kind of name for C.ZMQ_SWAP

I believe I have successfully followed all of the instructions with the exception of the messages above. gophernotes is listed under my bin directory. But when I open the gophernotes notebook, there is no Go kernel.

Could this be the reason and, if so, how to resolve it?

Hi @carlisia! Thanks for trying out the notebook. What version of ZeroMQ do you have? Also, did you modify the Jupyter kernel.json file? If so, could you copy the contents here?

[carlisia]

Check this out:

☻  brew install zeromq22                                                                           
Warning: homebrew/versions/zeromq22-2.2.0 already installed

{
    "argv": [
        "/Users/carlisiacampos/.gvm/pkgsets/go1.5.1/global/go/bin/gophernotes",
        "{connection_file}"
        ],
    "display_name": "Golang",
    "language": "go",
    "name": "go"
}

[carlisia]

Oops, the path is wrong!

[carlisia]

Ok, fixed the path (there was an extra go in there) but still the same.

[carlisia]

Not the kernel.json file looks like this:

{
    "argv": [
        "/Users/carlisiacampos/.gvm/pkgsets/go1.5.1/global/bin/gophernotes",
        "{connection_file}"
        ],
    "display_name": "Golang",
    "language": "go",
    "name": "go"
}

Can you run the gophernotes binary in a terminal, just as gophernotes? Any output? Also, what version of Jupyter?

[carlisia]

☻  gophernotes --help              
Usage of gophernotes:
  -autoimport
        formats and adjusts imports automatically
  -context string
        import packages, functions, variables and constants from external golang source files
  -debug
        Log extra info to stderr
  -pkg string
        specify a package where the session will be run inside

~GOPATH/src/github.com/gophergala2016/gophernotes
☻  jupyter --version         
4.1.0

[dwhitena]

If you run gophernotes without the --help do you get any output? Also, you could try putting the kernel file under $HOME/.ipython/kernels.

[carlisia]

☻  gophernotes         
2016/05/01 15:29:30 Need a command line argument for the connection file.

I'll try placing the kernel file in that dir.

[dwhitena]

Yeah try ~/.ipython/kernels/gophernotes instead of ~/.local/share/jupyter/kernels/gophernotes

[carlisia]

Sorry, got side-tracked.

OMG it works! So awesome. Thank you.
