Unable to install grpc extension

[alexjeen]

Version of install-php-extensions

v.2.2.17

Error description

I am trying to install the grpc module on version PHP 7.1.33 within Gitlab CI (AMD64 runner). However it is failing Strangely enough on X86 builds and ARM builds, it works fine.

You can try it with a Gitlab runner that is free, for instance saas-linux-small-amd64.

And it is able to install properly as well judging from this log, but when it tries to verify if the installation has been done correctly it fails (my g++ skills are a bit rusty so I can not read this, but maybe a pro can ;)):

See https://github.com/grpc/grpc/issues/37178

For the time being, you can install an older version of grpc (for example: install-php-extensions grpc-1.64.1)

[alexjeen]

Thanks, works indeed.

[mlocati]

I'll keep this issue open until they solve https://github.com/grpc/grpc/issues/37178

[mlocati]

For the time being, you can install an older version of grpc (for example: install-php-extensions grpc-1.64.1)

PS: since version 2.2.19 by default the script installs version 1.64.1, so you don't need to specify it yourself.

Once https://github.com/grpc/grpc/issues/37178 will be closed, I'll update the script to remove that setting.
